Estudo teórico de gravimetria na Bacia Madre de Dios

Abstract

Madre de Dios is a foreland basin that has not been much studied or explored by the oil industry. A deeper understanding of the basin would allow for a better evaluation of the potential for oil and gas generation, creating new exploration opportunities. Amongst the first methods to be employed in the study of a new region, gravimetry stands out as a fast ans comparatively cheap technique for the macroscopic understanding of an area. The aim of this work is to make a bibliographical review of the Madre de Dios basin geology, as well as propose a model for the Bouguer map of region. This model is based on gravimetric maps of the Marañon basin, also located in Peru, which is geographically near and structurally similar to the Madre de Dios basin.
