Estimation of Sedimentary Basin Depth Using the Hybrid Technique for Gravity Data

Abstract: In this paper we present the rapid method for determining the depth distribution of a sedimentary basin by combining the FFT-based and space domain techniques in gravity data interpretation. The method is tested on two 3D synthetic models which density contrast is constant and exponential variation with depth. Then, the method is applied to determine the depth distribution of Nam Con Son sedimentary basin in Vietnam. The obtained results coincide well with theoretical models and seismic data. The computation speed of the method is much faster than that of space domain technique.
