Oil field research in regional Banyuasin “HUF” , South Sumatra have been done by the gravity data with objective of knowing fault structure based on analysis of hydrocarbon SVD and knows hollow structure  based on the 3D model of the Bouguer Anomaly and Residual Anomaly. Study areas had Bouguer Anomaly between 13 mgal up to 33 mgal to the interval 1 mgal, where the value of Bouguer Anomaly high have a range value 26 mgal up to 33 mgal which is in the direction of west. While the low value of Bouguer Anomaly have a range value 13 mgal to 20 mgal that is in the east. To knew the existence of structure fault, filtering Second Vertical Derivative (SVD) on a Bouguer Anomaly, Regional and Residua mapl.Pattern of structure fault indicated the contours of a zero value and between the high and low contours. From the results of the analysis SVD Complete Bouguer Anomaly and SVD Residual Anomaly there were 4 (four) fault, while from SVD Regional Anomaly there are 3 (three) fault. 3D modeling the Residual Anomaly were conducted to prove the existence of the fault SVD analyzed based on the results of the analysis and to know the hydrocarbon basin. Based on the results of the inversion of 3D the Residual Anomaly, basin was found in the depth of 1500 m – 3000 m with a value of the density ranges from 2.24 gram/cc until 2.32 gram/cc which identified as sandstone basin.

Research has been carried out related to subsurface structures in the Tejakula Buleleng Bali area and its surroundings using the gravity method. This study aims to identify the local Tejakula fault. The data used in this study is gravity anomaly data obtained from observations of Geodetic Satellite (GEOSAT). The method used in interpreting the type of disturbance uses the Second Vertical Derivative method, which then produces two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) fault model interpretations. Based on the results obtained in the study, the condition of the bouguer gravity anomaly value in the Tejakula area and its surroundings at the research location is in the range of 65 mGal to 185 mGal. Meanwhile, based on the Second Vertical Derivative method in determining the type of fault, the Tejakula Fault can be categorized as a mandatory fault with an upward trend.

In general, Manokwari has a geological structure that is in the form of a folding area found in the highlands of the mountains. Among the creases, there is a fault up and the fault down. In coastal or marine areas found many reefs and corals. The study of gravity was conducted in the Manokwari area of West Papua with the aim to know the subsurface geological structures based on FHD (First Horizontal Derivative), SVD (Second Vertical Derivative) and 2.5D Forward Modeling on the residual anomaly maps of the study area. The results showed that the research area has Bouguer Anomaly value ranged from 4 mGal to 96 mGal with the low anomaly at the left side of the research area lengthwise relatively in north-west to south-east direction, the middle-value anomaly spreads in the west-east area of research area, high anomaly scattered in the northern part of the research area. The results of the 2.5D subsurface modeling and the SVD and FHD analysis indicated the presence of a Thrust Fault on the C-C’ cross-section, on the B-B’ cross-section there is a Diorite Lembai intrusion with the density value is 2.75 gr/cc, whereas the A-A' cross-section which intersects with Sorong fault were not found any fault or rock intrusion based on observed gravity data of the research area.

Sumatra Island has the largest geothermal potential in Indonesia spread along the subduction zone between the Indian-Australian plate and the Eurasian plate. “AUN” geothermal field located in Sumatra Island and considered to be one of the largest potential geothermal prospects in Indonesia. This study is focused on identifying the prospect of “AUN” geothermal field using gravity method. First Horizontal Derivative (FHD) and Second Vertical Derivative (SVD) analysis were applied in order to determine a more accurate boundary of the fault. 3D inversions of gravity data were used to reconstruct subsurface model. The result show that analysis of First Horizontal Derivative (FHD) and Second Vertical Derivative (SVD) can confirm southwest-northeast fault and caldera structure as a boundary of geothermal reservoir and 3D gravity inversion can show subsurface layers with density 2.5 gr/cc to 2.8 gr/cc inside the boundary which is determined as a heat source in “AUN” geothermal field.

Gravity inversion is inherently nonunique. Minimum-structure inversion has proved effective at dealing with this nonuniqueness. However, such an inversion approach, which involves a large number of unknown parameters, is computationally expensive. To improve efficiency while retaining the advantages of a minimum-structure-style inversion, we have developed a new method, based on edge detection and center detection of geologic bodies, to help to focus the spatial extent of meshing for gravity inversion. The chosen method of edge detection, normalized vertical derivative of the total horizontal derivative, helps to outline areas to be meshed by approximating the edges of key geophysical bodies. Next, the method of center detection, normalized vertical derivative of the analytic signal amplitude, helps to confirm the center of the areas to be meshed, then a binary mesh flag is generated. In this paper, the binary mesh flag, restricting the spatial extent of meshing, is first undertaken using the two methods, and it is shown to dramatically reduce the number of grid cells from 574,992 for the whole research volume to 170,544 for the localized mesh by the same size of cell, which is decreased by almost 70%. Second, gravity inversion is performed using the spatially restricted mesh. The recovered model constructed using the binary mesh flag is similar to the model obtained using the mesh spanning the whole volume and saves approximately 80% of the CPU time. Finally, a real gravity data example from Olympic Dam in Australia is successfully used to test the validity and practicability of this proposed method. The geologic source bodies are resolved between 250 and 750 m depth. Overall, the combination of edge detection and center detection, and our binary mesh flag, succeed in reducing the number of cells and saving the CPU time and computer storage required for gravity inversion.

<p class="Abstract">Research has been conducted to identify the Walanae Fault, coordinates 4–6 S and 118-120 E using anomalous gravity data. This research uses data measurement of Topography and the Free Air Anomaly from the TOPEX/Poseidon satellite. Then the authors processed to obtain the bouguer anomalies and made modeling by using the Surfer 10. The authors used the Second Vertical Derivative (SVD) with filter Elkins of Moving Average then analyze the graph of the SVD. The results shows the value of the residual anomaly in the north of fault is 25.21 mGal, in the middle occur range 17.67 mGal to 24.98 mGal and 30,376 mGal in the south of fault. The authors indicates the existence of a difference between the gravity between the Walanae Fault with surrounding geologic. From these results also show that Walanae Fault has a reverse fault mechanism in the northern part and the normal fault mechanism in the middle to the south, the authors conclude that the Walanae Fault is divided into two segments, that is the northern and the southern segment.</p>
