**2.3 Material**

The proposed new 2D semi-inversion technique is carried out for any sedimentary basin area, by using a proper corrected Bouguer gravity anomaly map, with a prior known controlling point (s) of the formation's densities and thicknesses (borehole), in addition, using an Excel, Surfer-15 software, and Matlab software for applications the written program for the proposed technique.

## *2.3.1 Bouguer gravity map*

A digitizing process is carried out, for Bouguer's gravity anomaly map that covers the investigated area, processing, and re-contouring with proper contourintervals Then re-mapping with the location of the prior known controlling point (s) or borehole (s) locations, by using the Surfer-15 software to manipulate and dealing with data easily through the Excel and Matlab software. Thus, then a profile is taken along the map, in digitized form (file with two coordinates (x, gB)) that is later used for algorithm code application in Matlab.
