Borehole Geophysics
Borehole geophysics is a technique used to study the physical properties of subsurface materials by measuring data from within a drilled borehole. This method helps geologists and engineers understand the geological formations, groundwater resources, and potential hazards in an area. Various tools and instruments are employed to gather information about rock density, porosity, and fluid content.
The data collected through borehole geophysics can be crucial for mining, oil and gas exploration, and environmental assessments. By analyzing this information, professionals can make informed decisions regarding resource extraction, site development, and environmental protection.
