Example - porosity study using gravity data and forward modelling
Here a representative example showing how gravity can help to understand and quantify the fractures related porosity effect
Figure description
Fracture-related porosity effect on the gravity anomaly. (a) Observed and computed Bouguer anomalies, (b) residual anomalies of those shown in (a), (c) 2D cross section extracted from the 3D geological model including faulted and fractured zone, (d) the 2D geometric fractured zone within 4 layers, and (e) initial 2D cross section before adding fracturation zone.
Main conclusion
Our target is affected by 10% of fractures related porosity
