Abstract:Gravimetry is a physical method with a large depth of investigation. Traditional applications include surface gravity observations for mining and oil exploration and borehole gravity logging for investigating formation bulk density.
A new application of gravimetry is large-scale reservoir saturation monitoring. Replacement of oil or gas by water leads to density changes in large volumes of the reservoir, which causes changes of the gravity field down hole as well as on the surface. Since borehol… Show more
