Abstract:
A method and system to be used in well inspection. An acoustic signal is transmitted from a well inspection tool into a well structure and one or more return signals is detected using at least one receiver. At least one processor is used to generate variable density log (VDL) data that includes multiple waveforms in a time domain from the one or more return signals. A number of independent components to be used based on variances in the VDL data is determined and the multiple waveforms are decomposed into multiple components associated with one or more local structure variances of the well structure using independent component analysis (ICA) and the number of independent components. Characteristics of the well structure is determined based in part on patterns or features associated with one or more independent components from the multiple components.
