  "term": "Bouguer correction",
  "field": "Oil and gas",
  "definition": "A gravity correction applied to observed gravity measurements to account for the gravitational attraction of the rock mass between the observation point and a reference datum, usually sea level. This correction assumes a uniform density for the intervening rock and removes the effect of topography. It is calculated using the Bouguer slab formula, which depends on the density of the material.",
