Abstract:
A method for identifying a shape of a borehole may comprise disposing a downhole tool into the borehole, wherein the downhole tool comprises at least one transducer, transmitting a pressure pulse from the at least one transducer, wherein the pressure pulse is reflected as an echo, recording the echo with the at least one transducer, producing data points based at least in part on the echo, each data point including a radial distance value and an azimuthal value corresponding to the radial distance value, performing a pre-selection, fitting a geometric shape to a plurality of data points within the borehole, and sorting out at least one of the plurality of data points based at least in part on the shape. A system for identifying shape of a borehole may comprise at least one transducer and an information handling system.
