Collective term for Cased-Hole Logging operations in producing wells with a purpose to assess Borehole Flow Profile (BFP) and Reservoir Flow Profiling (RFP):
PLT is essential part of the production and recovery monitoring and helps understand fluid communication at wellbore ↔ reservoir contact.
For PLT in injection well see ILT, although it is often called PLT anyway.
The survey is performed with a multi-sensor downhole PLT Logging Tool and interpreted with PLT-BFP Model or PLT-RFP Model.

Objectives
Picking up the fluid inflow intervals and phase characterization |
| Estimating flowrate of each phase component across each inflow interval |
| Check up for cross-flows in shut-in conditions between formation units with different formation pressure |
Picking up the zones of the first barrier (tubing and/or casing) integrity failure |
| Both perforations are producing oil and water with upper interval producing more than lower. The lower inflow zone is mostly producing water. |
