Interpretation I

Bouguer Anomaly :
g = gobs gn + FAC BC + TC
gn = normal gravity of the earth (Geoid)

g 978032.7 1 0.0053024 sin 2 0.0000058 sin 2 2

TAC = Free-air correction

0.308765
h

BC = Bouguer correction
TC = Terrain correction

Bouguer Gravity Maps :

To identify Subsurface geological structure
through density contrast and its geometry

Basin Structure
Classified according to their final form
Basin Geometry
Asymmetrical (most basins)
Nearly circular (Michigan Basin and Paris
Basin)
Symmetrical oval basin (few basins)

 Simple Basin (one depocenter)

Complex Basin (several individual
depocenters). Each individual depocenter
has its own migration rules and also
interacts with adjacent depocenter.

Relationship between regional structure and

preferred HC migration pathway
(position & direction)
HC migrate under the
influence of subsurface
pressures, and
Subsurface isobars are
parallel to regional
structure, so that
HC pathway directions
tend to lie perpendicular
to regional isobars, and to
regional Bouguer gravity
contour (Pratsch, 1986)

 Integration of well data, deep seismic

data, and magnetic data will improve any
regional structure map.

Gravity & Magnetic survey

of Pinang Dome and its surrounding

The high rank of the coal

Strongly re-crystallized limestone in the Dome
Presence of tuff beds in the Meocene sediments
Morphology
Structure is developed on an intrusive body
( a plug or stock ?)

Objectives :
To test the presence of an intrusion body
(or diapirism ?)
To obtain a better picture of subsurface geological
structure beneath the dome
