terracing is an operator that is applied to potential field data to produce regions of constant field amplitude that are separated by sharp boundaries. magnetic data are usually transformed into pseudo-gravity data (baranov, 1957) prior to the application of terracing. the objective of terracing is ‘to recast potential field maps into a geologic map like format’ (cordell and mccafferty 1989). t...

potential field images obtained in potential field data measurements are suitable tools for mineral and hydrocarbons resources explorations. these images consist of different anomalies which in many cases are contaminated with noise. the horizontal location of the boundaries of potential field anomaly sources is of interest in potential field interpretation. however, the edge of potential field...

the oudna field part of the offshore northeastern tunisia, straddles between two structural domains, the tunisian atlas to the north and the pelagian sea to the south. the study of this field has confirmed adequate petroleum system in fahdene formations (albian-cenomanian) and birsa (serravallian) resulting from the combination of several sedimentary, tectonic and thermal factors. to do this, w...

coastal fars gravimetry project in fars province was carried out to find the buried salt domes and to determine characteristics of faults in this area. the lavarestan structure was covered by 4203 gravimetry stations in a regular grid of 1000*250 m. depth structural model of this anticline made in previous studies was based on geological evidences and structural geology measurements. in order t...

we have applied an automatic interpretation method of potential data called an-eul in unexploded ordnance (uxo) prospective which is indeed a combination of the analytic signal and the euler deconvolution approaches. the method can be applied for both magnetic and gravity data as well for gradient surveys based upon the concept of the structural index (si) of a potential anomaly which is relate...

potential field methods such as gravity and magnetic methods are among the most applied geophysical methods in mineral exploration. a high-resolution technique is developed to image geologic boundaries such as contacts and faults. potential field derivatives are the basis of many interpretation techniques. in boundary detection, the analytic signal quantity is defined by combining the val...
