Abstract
In this paper, methods for the generation of residual and prospecting geoids and free-air gravity anomaly using satellite altimeter data are developed. Maps of residual geoid, gravity anomaly, and their spectral components generated over Indian offshore using ERS-1 altimeter data are presented and interpreted. A number of known megastructures over the study area, for example, Bombay High, Saurastra platform, 90 east ridge, etc., are interpreted successfully from these maps. Some of the anomalous zones (the basins near Mangalore and off Bombay High in the western offshore and Palar basin off Madras coast in the eastern offshore) have been identified as potential sites for occurrences of hydrocarbon-bearing structures, for which detailed ship-borne geophysical surveys have been commissioned by the Oil & Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC), Dehradun, India.
