Application of Compact method to solve the inverse gravity problem

Abstract

Inverse problem – to determine the location and the shape of source, especially to determine the crystal basement in oil exploration – is not a unique solution, and there have been many methods proposed to solve it. This article introduces two parts: (a) Building the solution of gravity inverse problem by using Compact bodies and (b) application for calculation in some models. The results have shown that the proposed method was possible and applicable for implementation and test on the synthetic gravity data by computer.
