    摘要: Described is method and system of determining horizontal stress from radial profiles of dipole shear together with the far-field estimate of the Stoneley shear modulus. The system and method include selecting an optimal number of regression points on measured radial profiles for obtaining reliable estimation of maximum and minimum horizontal stress magnitudes in the presence of noisy data, where measured radial profiles of dipole shear moduli might exhibit a small amount of random fluctuations.

    摘要: A tool generates signals indicative a shear wave slowness of the formation surrounding a borehole. The tool comprises a collar portion adapted for mounting in a drill string, a quadrupole sonic transmitter mounted to the collar portion, and a quadrupole sonic receiver array mounted to the collar spaced apart from the transmitter. A method determines shear wave slowness of the formation. The method includes propagating quadrupole wave energy into the formation and detecting quadrupole dispersive waveform received at a second location. Formation shear wave slowness is calculated using dispersive slowness time coherence processing.

    摘要: A method provides for locating and measuring mechanical damage in rock surrounding a borehole by detecting one or both of reductions in ultrasonic compressional wave velocity in the rock as a function of azimuth, and by detecting focused acoustic energy in the rock from local increases in ultrasonic compressional wave amplitude resulting from velocity gradients. A first preferred embodiment uses a combination of azimuthal ultrasonic compressional wave velocity data and azimuthal ultrasonic compressional wave energy data. A second embodiment uses azimuthal ultrasonic compressional wave velocity data and omni-directional sonic velocity data, with a comparison test or a curve fitting test. A third embodiment uses azimuthal ultrasonic compressional wave energy data.
