    Abstract: Apparatus and methods are provided. An ultrasonic tool with an array of axially spaced receivers and a transmitter is located in a borehole and is activated. Ultrasonic waveform indications recorded by the receivers are processed and analyzed to determine the presence of non-dispersive headwave signatures. If a non-dispersive headwave signature is located, the presence of a solid such as cement in the annulus is confirmed, and one or more of the compressional and shear velocities of the cement can be determined. If only casing dispersive mode signatures are found, the annulus is determined to possibly contain no cement at the location of interest and additional processing is required.

    Abstract: Methods are disclosed for detecting fluid in at least one annulus around at least one casing installed in a borehole traversing a formation utilizing a sonic tool. The sonic tool is activated in the borehole and the received sonic waveforms are processed to obtain a dispersion plot. A reference dispersion plot is generated using a model of the borehole where the casing is well-bonded by cement. The obtained and reference dispersion plots are compared. An indication of fluid and in some cases, the specific radial location thereof is obtained based on the signature of the obtained plot as opposed to the reference plot. The methods are effective in doubly-cased boreholes using monopole and/or dipole sources.
