Abstract: A method of steering a drilling operation of a well using acoustic measurements. The method includes obtaining, using a central processing unit (CPU), a clean-wet matrix line for the well, where the clean-wet matrix line includes a number of normal compressional values, obtaining, using the CPU, the acoustic measurements from at least one logging while drilling tool at a current depth of the drilling operation, where the acoustic measurements include a compressional to shear velocity ratio and a delta-T compressional measurement, and determining, using the CPU, a current phase of the drilling operation by comparing the acoustic measurements to the clean-wet matrix line. The method further includes, in response to determining that the current phase is not a target phase, generating an updated well trajectory for steering the drilling operation toward the target phase and adjusting the drilling operation using the updated well trajectory.

Abstract: A system for controlling sensor motion during a time-dependent measurement, comprising a drilling assembly having a drill bit at one end and engaged with a drill string extending to a surface location at an opposite end thereof. A sensor is disposed in the drilling assembly for making a measurement of a formation parameter of interest. A non-rotating stabilizer is disposed in the drilling assembly proximate the sensor. The non-rotating stabilizer is adapted to reduce motion of the sensor below a predetermined level during the measurement. In one embodiment the rotational axis of the stabilizer is eccentric with respect to the borehole. In another embodiment, the non-rotating stabilizer has an extendable rib for changing the effective diameter of the stabilizer.
