On rencontre souvent [...] quelque ambiguïté dans l'usage des termes forage et sondage. Dans certaines branches d'activité cependant, le terme forage s'applique de préférence à des trous dont le diamètre est de plusieurs décimètres, le terme sondage étant réservé aux trous de faibles diamètres. [...] Pour les pétroliers c'est le terme forage qui prédomine avec le sens d'aspects généraux tels : le forage d'exploration, le forage d'exploitation. [...] Le terme sondage est [...] plutôt réservé à ce qui est reconnaissance géologique : sondage de recherche, de structure, sondages stratigraphiques. 3, record 2, French, - forage
