Determination of Shear Wave Velocities in "Slow" Formations

Direct determination of formation shear wave travel time is impossible in "slow" formations where the shear wave velocity is lower than the borehole fluid (mud) velocity. However, the Stoneley waves in these formations are very sensitive to changes in formation shear wave properties and ca...
