Usages of Complete Spherical Bouguer gravity anomalies have become more popular due to the its easy gathering. Additionally, invariants of gravity tensors attract great interest in the petroleum and geothermal energy explorations. In this paper, WGM2012 Complete Spherical Bouguer gravity anomalies are used to evaluate the tensors and invariants of the Eastern part of Turkey. The area contains geothermal and petroleum fields but reaching petroleum has some problems in terms of tectonic collisions of the Arabian and Anatolian plate. In this paper, I1 and I2 invariants of gravity tensors are evaluated to determine the location of geothermal and petroleum fields. Due to the results of invariants are related to density variations of study area and the anomalies show the effect of the different sources on the underground. Firstly examining invariants for large areas, reducing cost of explorations via decreasing study area.
