Full waveform [http://wiki.seg.org/wiki/Dictionary:Acoustic_log acoustic logs] (FWAL) provide information about the seismic and lithologic properties of a formation. Conventional acoustic logs measure only the P (compressional) wave traveltime through the rock. Full waveform acoustic logs, however, provide a large amount of other information. This includes S (shear) wave traveltime; Stoneley wave traveltime; and P, S, and Stoneley wave amplitudes. P and S wave traveltimes and amplitudes provide information about the lithology and the fluid content of the formation. Stoneley wave velocity and amplitude have been shown to be useful in the detection of fractures and the estimation of relative formation [[permeability]].
