Abstract:
Techniques for calculating and visually presenting multiple acoustic modes that have different formation slowness are disclosed herein. The techniques include methods for receiving time-domain waveforms from adjacent formations in a borehole, processing each of the time-domain waveforms to generate frequency-domain spectrums, selecting frequency and slowness values, and predicting travel time of a mode associated with the slowness value. In some aspects, the method further includes steps for calculating a semblance difference of the frequency-domain spectrums based on the frequency value, the slowness value and the predicted travel time. Systems and computer-readable media are also provided.
