Nonlinear Semblance Processing For The Evaluation Of An Acoustic Altered Zone Around The Borehole

This paper describes a simple method to evaluate an acoustic altered zone around the borehole using an array of sonic waveforms. The method is based on a semblance velocity analysis and a nonlinear travel time window is introduced. On the assumption that a velocity gradient of the altered zone ma...
