Application of downhole acoustic methods for solving problems of solid mineral field development
Opportunities and peculiarities of the application of the acoustic well logging methods for solving problems of contemporaneous engineering geology, as well as for conducting investigations in the sections of ore and coal boreholes have been considered. Examples of the identification of fracturing zones and intervals have been given. They are used to draw the conclusion that the combined application of the acoustic video-logging and acoustic waveform logging allow a sufficiently reliable evaluation of engineering and geological conditions and prediction of their changes within the period of construction and operation of underground structures.
