Potential-field-data imaging of complex geological features in deepwater salt-tectonic regions in the Gulf of Mexico remains an open active research field. There is still a lack of resolution in seismic imaging methods below and in the surroundings of allochthonous salt bodies. In this work, we present a novel three-dimensional potential-field-data simultaneous inversion method for imaging of salt features. This new approach incorporates a growth algorithm for source estimation, which progressively recovers geological structures by exploring a constrained parameter space; restrictions are posed from a priori geological knowledge of the study area. The algorithm is tested with synthetic data corresponding to a real complex salt-tectonic geological setting commonly found in exploration areas of deepwater Gulf of Mexico. Due to the huge amount of data involved in three-dimensional inversion of potential field data, the use of parallel computing techniques becomes mandatory. In this sense, to alleviate computational burden, an easy to implement parallelization strategy for the inversion scheme through OpenMP directives is presented. The methodology was applied to invert and integrate gravity, magnetic and full tensor gradient data of the study area.
