摘要： The present invention is directed to sonic logging while drilling. A transmitter and at least one receiver are mounted on a drill collar for performing sonic investigations of the formation traversed by a borehole. It has been discovered that a drill collar has a natural stop band or notch where acoustic energy propagating in this frequency range is severely attenuated. Thus, to reduce drill collar acoustic coupling, the transmitter is operated within this natural stop band of the drill collar. An imperforate stop band filter is also included between the transmitter and receiver to enhance the natural stop band. The transmitter is mounted transverse to the longitudinal axis of the drill collar, and is preferably mounted within means that reduce drill collar acoustic coupling. The transmitter preferably includes a material whose acoustic response is more favorable along its longitudinal axis relative to its radial axis, thereby directing the acoustic energy into the formation rather than the surrounding drill collar. Received acoustic energy waveforms are electronically processed to reliably detect, in the presence of drilling noise, those acoustic signals which are produced by the transmitter and transmitted through the formation.

摘要： An apparatus for reducing or eliminating the effects of a quadrupole component of an acoustic signal received from a transversely mounted acoustic source in a drill collar of a logging while drilling tool. The apparatus includes a drill collar for supporting a drill bit, a transversely mounted transmitter situated in a first horizontal plane in the drill collar which transmits acoustic energy into an earth formation. The drill collar also houses at least one receiver mounted in a second horizontal plane in the drill collar at an angular displacement from the transmitter such that the effects of a quadrupole component of the acoustic energy detected by the receiver are rendered insignificant.

摘要： Methods for processing sonic logging data obtained by a sonic imaging tool or an MWD tool are provided. The sonic logging data are bandpass filtered and sampled according to techniques such as integer band decimation, quadrature modulation, and single side band modulation to provide compressed signals which can be reconstructed if desired. The compressed signals are alternatively stored for downloading and further processing, sent uphole for processing, or processed downhole. The processing preferably involves processing the analytic portion of the compressed signals according to an improved semblance processing technique where the semblance function is calculated over a time window utilizing coarse slowness and time sampling steps. The slowness and time sampling steps are dictated by the parameters of the bandpass filter and the inter-receiver spacing of the tool. The waveform for each receiver is preferably interpolated based on the time step size to provide those data points necessary for stacking. From the determined semblance peaks, or interpolation thereabout, the formation slowness is derived.

摘要： Methods and apparatus are described for simultaneously acquiring time-domain (e.g., compressional) and frequency-domain (e.g., monopole Stoneley and/or dipole shear) borehole logs which are separated by frequency filtering. Monopole (Stoneley) data and dipole (shear) data are acquired simultaneously using discrete-frequency sonic emission, preferably at distinct frequencies to avoid cross-mode interference. A preferred embodiment combines discrete-frequency dipole sonic emission at low frequency (up to 5 kHz) to log formation shear wave, high frequency (5 to 30 kHz) time-domain monopole emission with first-motion detection to log formation compressional wave, and discrete-frequency monopole emission at low frequency (below 5 kHz) to log borehole Stoneley wave. The measurements of compressional, shear and Stoneley can be transmitted uphole using a small telemetry bandwidth. Benefits include higher logging speed, acquisition of all three measurements in a single logging run, real-time acquisition and processing of the three measurements, and a reduced telemetry load which allows a tool making the three measurements to be combined with other logging tools.

摘要： The shear velocity of a formation traversed by a fluid-filled open or cased borehole is obtained directly. Waveforms are obtained from a dipole acoustic investigation of the formation relative to a common location in the borehole. In this investigation, the bandwidth of the waveforms is substantially bounded by an upper frequency f.sub.u at and below which energy traveling at the shear velocity is dominant. Moreover, the bandwidth of the waveforms is concentrated near the frequency f.sub.u. The shear velocity of said earth formation is determined from these waveforms. In one embodiment, the waveforms are obtained from a broadband dipole acoustic investigation. The waveforms are low-pass filtered, and an interim shear velocity v.sub.s is determined from the filtered waveforms. The filtering and determining of v.sub.s are done first for an initial f.sub.cut, and subsequently for additional decreasing values of f.sub.cut, until a preselected relationship between f.sub.cut and v.sub.s is satisfied. The last-determined v.sub.s is the shear velocity. Other embodiments are discussed.
