IGMAS+ in a nutshell

Modern geophysical interpretation requires an interdisciplinary approach and software capable of handling multiple inhomogeneous data like seismic, FTG gravity, magnetic and magnetotelluric in complex geological environments.

3D flat model of the central Western South American margin, modelled gravity, and modelling constraings.

IGMAS+ (Interactive Gravity and Magnetic Application System) is a geo-modelling software for three-dimensional joint inversion of potential fields and its derivatives under the condition of constraining data and independent information.

Three-dimensional gravity and magnetic modelling appreciably improves the results of distinct depth imaging projects. This regards especially to areas of strong lateral seismic velocity and density contrasts and corresponding imaging problems. Typical areas where grav/mag modelling has been successfully used are sub-salt and sub-basalt settings.

What makes IGMAS+ highly efficient and user-friendly is that it allows adjusting the geometries and physical properties of modelled subsurface bodies interactively, i.e. while the corresponding calculated and measured potential field components are visualized together with independent observations.
