Exploration purposes

Production purposes

Borehole gravity advantages

The following characteristics give borehole gravity surveys advantages in certain situations:

Borehole gravity disadvantages

The following characteristics give borehole gravity surveys disadvantages in certain situations:

  • Direction away from the well to distant source cannot be determined without other information
  • Engineering limitations of the tool restricts use to certain candidate wells (hole size, low deviation, slow reading)
  • Only a few tools presently available for use
  • Expensive to operate
