One of the main inputs of the economic development are the mineral resources.
They constitute the bulk of raw materials in core industries.
Petroleum and mineral deposits are associated with the subsurface structures.
Hence the major task is geophysical engineering is the estimating of those structure i.e., determining the location and size.

What is the resolution of a potential field ?
It is possible to measure the distribution of a potential field on the surface of the earth at equal intervals along a transverse would cover an area.
These recordings, termed as “Discrete data” naturally convey useful information about the subsurface.
![Page 4: Gravity Interpretation using the Mellin Transform](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062305/568165b5550346895dd8b20b/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
We define such useful information as “The resolution of potential fields”.
The objective of the present discussion is to involve the Mellin transform for resolving the potential field data, both gravity and magnetic due to bodies of common geometries.
The oil and natural gas are generally accumulated in structures of the form like domes, anticlines and synclines.

The domes are approximate as spheres.
The anticlines and synclines are approximate as horizontal circular cylinders.
Here we discuss gravity interpretation using the Mellin transform.

Definition of Mellin transform of a function f(x).
The Mellin transform a function f(x) is defined as
M(s) = M[f(x);s] = where s is a real number . Some properties of Mellin transform

In particular case if we take a=1
and so on.. Discrete Mellin transform is defined as
where N=total number of the observed values. ∆x=station interval of the observed values, and ∆s=interval of the discrete Mellin transform . In the case of sphere it may be noted that 0<n.∆s<3

Simulated models The theoretical Mellin transform of
the gravity effect is a continuous function in the interval (0,3)
The computed Mellin transform of the simulated models are shown in the following table and figure 1(b).
The Discrete Mellin transform of the gravity effect of the sphere is presented in figure 1(c).

Field exampleHumble Dome Anomaly A profile line AA’ of the gravity map of the humble
dome, near Houston USA (Nettleton 1976 fig 8.17) is analyzed using the residual gravity curve shown in fig 2(a).The anomaly is digitized at an interval of 132.52m.Using these digitized values the Discrete Mellin transform is calculated and shown in 2(b).Because the asymptotic regions are not considered for parametric evaluation the depth to the centre of the sphere is evaluated from the values of the Discrete Mellin transform of the residual gravity effect.

The value of Z is obtained according to The Mellin transform method as 4976.97m
and Nettleton 1976 as 4968.23m.Figure: 2

Discussions The similarity of the curves of the
transformed anomalies and the gamma function curves is expected since the Mellin transform is the generalized form of the gamma function.
It is also expected that the inherent advantage of the gamma function would be present in the transformed anomalies. This is observed since the transform anomalies are bounded by the two asymptotes (equation 5). Further note that the advantage of the Mellin transform method over graphical techniques are

1. All the observed values are used,2. Only a few transformed values are
required for computation,3. The interpretation procedure can be
computerized, and4. The Mellin transformation method can be
extended to other models in gravity and magnetic interpretation.
