  "term": "Acoustic",
  "field": "Oil and gas",
  "definition": "Relating to sound waves and their propagation through a medium, particularly in the context of seismic and wellbore logging. In geophysics, it describes modeling or data that assumes the earth transmits only compressional waves (P-waves) and does not support shear waves (S-waves), a simplification valid for fluids. Acoustic logging tools measure the traveltime of sound waves through the formation to determine properties like porosity.",
