  "id": "MLC-T-OAG-000049",
  "term": "Acoustic velocity",
  "field": "Oil and gas",
  "definition": "The speed at which an acoustic wave propagates through a medium, determined by the medium's elastic properties and density. It is a key parameter in seismic exploration for converting seismic traveltimes to depths and for understanding rock characteristics. Acoustic velocity is typically measured in meters per second (m/s) or feet per second (ft/s).",
