Borehole Geophysics

Borehole geophysics involves using specialized instruments lowered into a drilled hole (borehole) to gather detailed information about underground rocks and fluids. This technique helps scientists and engineers understand properties like rock composition, porosity, water or oil presence, and geological formations. By analyzing the data collected, they can make informed decisions about resource extraction, groundwater management, or geological stability. Essentially, borehole geophysics provides a window into the Earth's subsurface, offering critical insights to support various engineering, environmental, and resource-related applications.
