Reliability of velocity measurements made by monopole acoustic logging-while-drilling tools in fast formations

The accuracy of velocity measurements made using a monopole acoustic logging-while-drilling (ALWD) measurement tool is influenced by the eccentering of the tool due to complex drill string movements. We have used the velocity of collar flexural mode (at the source frequency range) as a reference and...
