POSSIBILITIES OF UNDERGROUND GRAVITY EXPLORATION

The article is devoted to the question of the possibility of using underground gravity prospecting for exploration of mineral deposits, in particular ore minerals and hydrocarbon deposits. As is known, recently in the world practice of applying geophysical methods, digital instruments are widely used, which provide high accuracy of measured geophysical data. In particular, gravimagnetic work is being carried out in Azerbaijan using digital gravimeters and magnetometers, which ensures the high efficiency of geophysical work. Underground gravity exploration covers gravimetric work in wells and mines and other underground structures and workings. Underground gravimetric work is usually carried out in conditions of approaching to anomalous geological objects, which provides amplification the intensity of the recorded gravimetric data on the one hand and makes it possible to clarify the location of the desired minerals and, in particular, ore bodies. The article analyzes the question of the possibility and effectiveness of underground gravimetric work on the basis of individual practical examples in the world practice
