Abstract
The potential field method, specially the Gravity method, is very fast and inexpensive too. In view of this, this technique has been used as a reconnaissance method to delineate the potential zone before seismic studies are taken up. However, gravity method has a bigger role to play. There are instances where the geology is complex, or sedimentary rocks are overlain by high velocity volcanics leading to poor reflections.
