Sonic Logging

Sonic logging is a technique used in the oil and gas industry to evaluate the properties of underground rock formations. It involves sending sound waves through the rocks using specialized tools lowered into boreholes. By measuring how fast these sound waves travel, geologists and engineers can determine the rock's density, porosity, and whether it contains hydrocarbons like oil or gas. The data helps assess the quality of the reservoir and guides drilling decisions, improving the chances of efficient extraction while ensuring safety and environmental considerations.
