Petrophysics

Petrophysics is the study of petroleum reservoirs and the physical properties of rocks and fluids within them. In the context of gravimetry, which measures gravitational field variations, petrophysics helps geoscientists understand subsurface geology. By analyzing how dense materials like oil, gas, or minerals affect gravity readings, researchers can infer the types and distributions of these resources underground. This knowledge is crucial for exploration and production in oil and gas industries, enabling more efficient and effective resource management.
