A Report on the Renaissance of Gravity in the Deep Water Gulf of Mexico: A Practical View of Integration Methods

Brian S. Anderson, Mark E. Weber, John E. Bain

Abstract

There is presently a massive increase in the addition of high-resolution gravity to seismic surveys all over the world. The reason behind this increase is improvements in gravity data resolution, increasingly difficult seismic imaging challenges, and better tools and technologies for incorporating gravity into the seismic workstation interpretation environment. Using a project workflow outline and case studies from the Deep Water Gulf of Mexico, we present a generalized approach for state of the art gravity application for the Gulf of Mexico explorationist. We also demonstrate a quantitative estimate of the relationship between gravity data accuracy, and anticipated accuracy of the interpreted geology.
