Regional Target Prospecting in the Faroe-Shetland Basin Area Using 3D-FTG Gravity Data

P503 Regional target prospecting in the Faroe- Shetland Basin area using 3D-FTG Gravity data Abstract 1 Marine 3D-Full Tensor Gradiometry (3D-FTG) is a multiple accelerometer high precision high resolution gravity gradient measuring system. The technology measures all Tensor Components of the gravity field enabling direct detection of geology that generates subtle density contrasts. Rock sequences of the Faroe Shetland Basin area include igneous centres extensive sill complexes and widespread flood basalts that present problematic imaging for the seismic reflection technique and have hindered exploration success. 3D-FTG data were acquired to address this problem and allow the direct detection of anomalous
