The exploration of oil and gas, especially in Indonesia is experiencing various challenges and varying degrees of difficulty. In this research, the researcher tries to make a 3D modeling from gravity data, where the model will show a structure to determine the central coordinates for drilling. Pertamina has carried out drilling at a location in NTT and it turns out that the well does not produce oil and gas, even though the log data reads an oil showing that the area should have the prospect of producing oil, but the wells that have been drilled do not show any oil or gas, therefore the researchers tried to make a 3D model determine the structure around the production well. In this research, it was seen that the area of the previous drilling point had deviated from the top of the up dome and it was also seen in this structure that the area was deviated by about 3 kilometers and depth must exceed 526 m, the researcher concluded that the drilling point must be at X, Y coordinates.

A method is developed for 2D forward modeling and nonlinear inversion of gravity data. The forward modeling calculates the gravity anomaly caused by a 2D source body with an assumed depth‐dependent density contrast given by a cubic polynomial. The source body is bounded at depth by a smooth, curvilinear surface given by the Fourier series, which represents the basement. The weighted and damped discrete nonlinear inverse method presented here can invert gravity data to infer the geometry of the source body. The use of the Fourier series to define the basement geometry allows the interpreter to reconstruct a broad variety of geometries for the geologic structures using a small number of free parameters. Both modeling and inversion methods are illustrated with examples using field gravity data across the San Jacinto graben in southern California and across the Sayula basin in Jalisco, Mexico. The inversion of the San Jacinto graben residual Bouguer gravity data yields results compatible with those from previous interpretations of the same data set, suggesting that this geologic structure accommodates about 2.5 km of sediments. The inversion of the residual Bouguer gravity data across the Sayula basin suggests a maximum of 1‐km‐thick sedimentary infill.
