Abstract: An isolator (300) for an acoustic logging system includes an outer housing surface (350), a bore (308), an outer bore surface (352), and a first isolator feature (302) positioned between the outer housing surface (350) and the outer bore surface (352) to reduce a collar wave transmitted by the acoustic source.

Abstract: Downhole measurement systems and methods include deploying a bottomhole assembly having a multipole transmitter into a formation and transmitting acoustic signals into the formation. The multipole transmitter is of order n 2. Acoustic signals are received at respective receivers that are circumferentially aligned with the multipole transmitter, and are axially offset from the multipole transmitter, and axially offset from each other. The order of the first and second multipole receivers are equal to the order of the multipole transmitter. A controller is used to obtain first and second acoustic multipole data from the first and second multipole receivers at one or more azimuthal angles of a rotation of the bottomhole assembly in a formation during a drilling operation. Acoustic azimuthal anisotropy of the formation is determined from the first acoustic multipole data and the second acoustic multipole data.
