Analysis of Full Waveform Acoustic Logging Data in "Soft" Formations

Direct recording of formation shear wave travel time is not possible in "soft" formations where the shear velocity is lower than the borehole fluid velocity. The borehole Stoneley wave is quite sensitive to changes in formation shear wave properties and may be used to indirectly determine...
