Abstract
Kuwait state lies at the upper northeastern corner of the Arabian Plate, on the Arabian Gulf, and surrounded by Iraq from the north, the Arabian Gulf from the east, and Saudi Arabia from other sides. Kuwait settled on a thick sedimentary column built from the Permian age to recent; its thickness ranges between 7 and 8 km, take the form of the underneath basement structures. Detailed information has been got about the crustal basement structure under Kuwait state from the analysis of gravity anomaly maps and its consequential depth maps. The Geosoft Oasis Montaj software is used for preparing the geologic cross-sections from the modeling of the gravity profiles. The modeled cross-section provided us with the depth and structures of crustal basement rocks within 6 to 7 km under Kuwait and its associated sedimentary basins with a detailed geometry. We got considerable information about the sedimentary basins' geometry in Kuwait, such as the locations, extension, depth, and dimensions of the basins. This information coincides with Kuwait's oil fields location map. However, this information can be confirmed accurately from an aeromagnetic survey recommended carrying out the Kuwait region.
