  • Method to estimate the depth of the weathering layer using gravity response
    Patent number: 11906694
    Abstract: A method to estimate a depth profile of a weathering layer in a subterranean formation of a field is disclosed. The method includes obtaining gravity survey data of the field, generating an equivalent source density profile based on the gravity survey data, wherein the equivalent source density profile describes a set of equivalent gravitational sources to substitute rock layers of the subterranean formation, generating an equivalent source gravity response based on the equivalent source density profile, wherein the equivalent source gravity response excludes a gravity contribution from the weathering layer, calculating a separated weathering layer gravity response based on a difference between the gravity survey data and the equivalent source gravity response, wherein the separated weathering layer gravity response corresponds to the gravity contribution from the weathering layer, and generating a modeled weathering layer depth profile based on the separated weathering layer gravity response.
