摘要: Methods, systems, and program products are disclosed for implementing acoustic logging and determining wellbore material characteristics. In some embodiments, a method may include determining a polar differential signal for each of one or more pairs of azimuthally offset acoustic measurements within a wellbore. A reference azimuth is identified based, at least in part, on comparing the polar differential signals to a modeled bonding differential signal within a target response window. The method further includes determining differences between an acoustic measurement at the reference azimuth and acoustic measurements at one or more other azimuths and determining a wellbore material condition based, at least in part, on the determined differences.

摘要: A well tool can be used in a wellbore that can measure characteristics of an object in the wellbore. The well tool includes an ultrasonic transducer for generating an ultrasonic wave in a medium of the wellbore. The ultrasonic transducer includes a front layer, a rear layer, backing material coupled to the rear layer, and piezoelectric material coupled to the front layer and to the backing material. The rear layer can improve signal-to-noise ratio of the transducer in applications such as imaging and caliper applications.

摘要: In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, systems and methods for downsampling DAS data in a way that enables accurate interpretation of acoustic events occurring in the data are provided. Such methods may be particularly useful when interpreting large sets of data, such as DAS VSP data collected during hydrocarbon recovery operations. The methods generally involve identifying data channels affected by noise from a DAS data set, and then interpolating from the surrounding data. This may improve the quality of the resulting downsampled data, with respect to the signal to noise ratio, compared to what would have occurred by merely decimating unwanted data channels. In addition, a priori information about channel fading, the desired downsampling rate, and the slowest expected elastic waves may be used to filter the DAS data. This may achieve a higher signal-to-noise ratio in the downsampled data.
