    Abstract
    A gravity study on the Qatar Peninsula was conducted to leam about density contrasts in this region and to gain information about subsurface geological structures favourable for oil and gas reserves. We recorded high quality gravity data along three West-East, Southwest-Northeast tending profiles of lengths 40, 65 and 75 km through the country. After reducing the data in the conventional way and, in a first approach, subtracting a linear trend of roughly 200 p. Gal/km, the residual Bouguer anomaly is found to be of the order ± 2 mGal. Forward modeling using the software IGMAS as well as application of a simple inversion technique for calculating the density distribution of the subsurface revealed that the basement topography varies about ±500 m at depths around 9 km. Mainly two North-South striking features can be identified which may be associated with anticlinal structures like the Qatar Arch. Reconsidering the West-East tending linear trend in the Bouguer anomaly, the gravity data suggest an overall rise of the basement depth by up to 2 km from the West coast of Qatar Peninsula to its east coast, meaning a slope of 4%. The study confirms that high quality gravity data contains valuable, new information on subsurface density contrasts for on-shore Qatar;
     
    استخدمت طريقة التثاقلية للترفما على توزيع الكثافة تحت السطح وكذلك لجمع معلومات عن التراكيب الجيولوجية تحت السطحية والتي تعتبر مكامن مناسبة لخزن النفط ، وقد تم إجراء القياسات على طول ثلاث قطاعات تمتد من الشرق - للغربما ومن الشمال الشرقي إلى الجنوبما الغربي وبأطوال تتراوح م!غ 40 كم إلى75 كم . وبعد إجراء المعالجات اللأزمة تم فصل المركبة المحلية والتما وجد أنها تقريباً 200 U Galh ثم أستخدمتا عملية النمذجة المتقدمة باستخدام برنامج IGMAS حيث أوضحتا النماذج أن العمق حتى صخور القاعدة 9 كم له إخقلاف في حدود -ل 505متر. وقد تم تحديد شكلين أساسين يضربان في إتجاه الشمال - الجنوب مرتبطين مع قوس قطر التركيبي ، كما أوضحت الدراسة أن عمق صخور القاعدة يرتفع بحوالي 2 كم من الشاطىء الشرقي إلى الغربي ، وذلك يعني إنحدار مقداره 4 % ، وهذ 9JI o! سة تؤكد أن الجاذبية العالية تعتبر قيمة حيث تعطي معلومات جديدة في الكثافة السطحية المقارنة على الشواطىء القطرية.
