Summary
The effects of the hydrocarbon presence were shown on the NFG sections by the application of NFG downward continuation operations on the theoretical models. As the application of this method, important results were obtained for the Hasankale-Horasan petroleum area by applying this NFG method to the gravity data for the purposes of hydrocarbon presence. It was shown that more effectively signs of the hydrocarbon structures on the NFG section obtained field and models data at low harmonics. Mass geometry and location of the mass giving rise to the anomaly can be used to be determined from the knowledge of singular points at the mass and its borders.
