The study of the physical properties and behaviour of rocks.
1950G. E. Archie in Bull Amer. Assoc. Petroleum Geologists XXXIV. 942 ‘Petrophysics’ is suggested as the term pertaining to the physics of particular rock types, whereas geophysics pertains to the physics of larger rock systems composing the earth. The petrophysics of reservoir rocks is discussed here. 1959Times 28 July 2/6 (Advt.), They [sc. applicants] should also be fully conversant with modern petrophysics methods. 1976Nature 19 Feb. 607/2 Esoteric accounts of palaeotemperature analysis, coal metamorphism, petrography of volcanic rocks, petrophysics of chalk, and intimate analyses of stratigraphic boundaries.
So petroˈphysical a.; petroˈphysicist, a specialist or expert in petrophysics.
