Determination of the Direction of Magnetization and Orientation of a Tilted Sheet From Downhole Magnetic Gradient Tensor Data

A tilted sheet model can usefully represent a dipping vein, dyke, sedimentary layer, or metasedimentary unit. Downhole magnetometer measurements provide proximal remote sensing of magnetic properties of magnetized sheets from a different perspective than ground or aeromagnetic surveys. However, a priori geometric information about a sheet is still required to constrain its magnetization, unless th...
