Acoustic Logging While Drilling (LWD): Experimental Studies with Anisotropic Models

A model LWD tool (0.16" ID, 0.4" OD) was built to investigate its operation in an anisotropic formation. The tool consists of a dipole source and six dipole receivers capable of operating at several hundred kHz. The formation was a block of delabole slate with a borehole of 1.27 cm diam...
