ARC Average Tool Shocks (ATSK)
This is an abbreviation for a well log acquired after or during drilling. You could find this abbreviation ATSK in your log evaluation software or any (ASCII) log files provided by the logging company. The full name for this log used in the industry is 'ARC Average Tool Shocks'. Usage of this log is not high and encountering it is a rare occasion. This log can be used to evaluate the measure of shocks or vibrations above some threshold per unit of time; used to quantify vibration severity for MWD/LWD tools.
In general this log thus reflects units of the frequency (The repetition rate of a periodic waveform. The inverse of period).This log usually has the unit 'Count Rate'. This is the number of events per unit time; e.g. the output of a scintillation counters.
Data from this log can be used to investigate the shock rate of the tool.
