The sonic log measures the travel time of an elastic wave through the formation. The design of our tools allows us to record high-quality data even in the low-frequency section (soft formation).
|
All tools are calibrated in accordance with engineering standard. Main uses of the sonic log are: - porosity calculation; - identification of fracturing zones; - identification of fracturing after fracking; - estimation of the elastic formation properties; - reservoir permeability calculation; - estimation of anisotropy and its directions. |
