Abstract:
A method is disclosed for radiaiiy profiling shear velocities of flexural wave modes in a formation. The method includes establishing sensitivity kernels with two non-dimensionalized parameters and using said sensitivity kernels to perform an inversion for radial shear wave velocity profiles. This method may be used for LWD, MWD, or wireline logging operations.
