Determination of Shear Wave Velocity and Attenuation From Waveforms in Low Velocity Formations

In boreholes where formation shear velocity is lower than borehole fluid velocity neither refracted shear waves nor pseudo-Rayleigh waves can propagate. When frequency response of the sonde does not extend to low frequencies (e.g. 2 kHz) Stoneley waves are not excited efficiently. In such cases refr...
