Abstract
A borehole gravimetry survey is carried out by making gravity measurements at a plurality of measurement stations along an interval of the borehole. A moving average gradient is determined for gravity measurements taken from consecutive pairs of such measurement stations over the borehole interval. Each moving average gradient is inverse filtered to reduce the effect of the weighted averaging on the gravity measurements, thereby increasing the vertical resolution of the data.
