Abstract

Jabera-Damoh area of the southern Vindhyan basin is known to contain favorable conditions for hydrocarbon entrapment. To study the prospective Jabera basin and its lateral extent, a detailed gravity survey network comprising 40 gravity bases and 1500 data points in an area of about 110 x 100 km2 was planned in and around Jabera-Damoh region. Fractal based optimum gridding technique was used to generate the accurate free air and Bouguer gravity anomaly maps Analysis of Bouguer and free air gravity anomaly maps, prepared using fractal based gridding method, indicates presence of two sedimentary basins (Jabera and Damoh) faulted on either sides
