Acoustic anisotropy using statistical analysis

Acoustic anisotropy of downhole formations is determined using statistical analysis. During operation of a downhole system, acoustic slowness measurements are acquired around a borehole extending along a formation. Statistical analysis is performed on the acquired slowness measurements, whereby the...

Summary:Acoustic anisotropy of downhole formations is determined using statistical analysis. During operation of a downhole system, acoustic slowness measurements are acquired around a borehole extending along a formation. Statistical analysis is performed on the acquired slowness measurements, whereby the maximum and minimum slownesses of the formation are determined.
