Audio measurement

Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-000212

The technique of using acoustic sensors to detect and analyze sounds generated by fluid flow within a wellbore, often to identify leaks, gas entry points, or fluid movement behind casing. This method can provide insights into downhole conditions without direct visual inspection. Audio logs are interpreted to pinpoint anomalies in the well's integrity or production profile.
