Geophysical Survey - Gravity

Gravity Surveying measures variations in the Earth's gravitational field generated by differences in sub-surface rock densities. Applications of gravimetric surveys are generally used to target broad scale geological features.

Identifiable Features Once field data has been corrected and modeled, extent and locations of geological features can be identified such as;

Identify concealed basin structure eg. Clermont style, by tracing basin floors.
Basement fractures & faulting via variation in stratigraphy densities can be identified by means of distinctive signature over offsets.
Broad scale lithology logging in new areas.
Intrusions - Usually provide an excellent contrast to the lower density surrounding rock.
Other density contrasting features.

Bouguer Anomaly
Correction for other gravity influences on land based surveys.

GeoConsult Acquisition
