There is a diagram of a piece of machinery used for steam injection with various parts. One is called a Sonolog. Is that its name in English too? I literally have no other information to provide besides other parts on the same diagram so will list those below:

natural gas or nitrogen entrance
solid block

1. n. [Production Testing] ID: 11292

An acoustic device that measures the time required for an explosive sound to echo from the annular liquid level in nonflowing wells. The time is proportional to the distance from the surface to the liquid. It is used to determine backpressure in the formation or a static fluid level in the annulus. It is also known as an echo meter
