Abstract:
A downhole tool having a transmitter array with azimuthally spaced transmitters and receiver arrays with azimuthally spaced receivers. Methods of operation include transmitting an acoustic signal from an individual one of the transmitters, sensing an attribute of the acoustic signal with the receivers, and evaluating a characteristic of a portion of a downhole feature based on response signals generated by the first and second receivers. Each response signal is indicative of the acoustic signal attribute sensed by the corresponding receivers. This is repeated with different individual ones of the transmitters and receivers until the evaluated portions of the downhole feature collectively extend around a wellbore.
