    摘要: A multimode acoustic source device for disposition in a borehole formed in a subterranean formation is aligned along an axial axis of the borehole and has a plurality of radiating plates circumferentially disposed about the axial axis. A drive mechanism is proposed to independently and reversibly move each radiating plate from a first position to a second position in a direction transverse to the axial axis. This enables the multimode source to generate each of several azimuthal modes for logging a subterranean formation.

    摘要: Methods and related systems are described for modified semblance criterions based on the approach of thresholding the signal energy. A first criterion is derived by posing the problem as that of detecting a signal with energy (or amplitude) greater than the specified threshold and deriving the generalized likelihood ratio test statistic. A second criterion is derived using the same method by posing the problem as that of rejecting any signal with energy (or amplitude) below a specified threshold and detecting it if its energy is above another threshold greater than or equal to the first. These appropriately modify the original semblance criterion which is shown to be equivalent to the GLRT test statistic in the absence of any threshold on the signal amplitude. In addition simpler modifications are also described. Tests on synthetic data illustrate the effectiveness of all these modifications which perform comparably well at suppressing unwanted arrivals while accurately processing the desired signals.

    摘要: This invention pertains to the extraction of the slowness dispersion characteristics of acoustic waves received by an array of two or more sensors by the application of a continuous wavelet transform on the received array waveforms (data). This produces a time-frequency map of the data for each sensor that facilitates the separation of the propagating components thereon. Two different methods are described to achieve the dispersion extraction by exploiting the time frequency localization of the propagating mode and the continuity of the dispersion curve as a function of frequency. The first method uses some features on the modulus map such as the peak to determine the time locus of the energy of each mode as a function of frequency. The second method uses a new modified Radon transform applied to the coefficients of the time frequency representation of the waveform traces received by the aforementioned sensors. Both methods are appropriate for automated extraction of the dispersion estimates from the data without the need for expert user input or supervision
