Acoustic logging is a multidisciplinary technology involving basic
theory, instrumentation, and data processing/interpretation
methodologies. The advancement of the technology now allows for a
broad range of measurements to obtain formation properties such as
elastic wave velocity and attenuation, formation permeability, and
seismic anisotropy that are important for petroleum reservoir
exploration. With these advances, it is easier to detect and
characterize formation fractures, estimate formation stress field,
and locate/estimate petroleum reserves. The technology has evolved
from the monopole acoustic logging into the multipole, including
dipole, cross-dipole, and even quadrupole, acoustic logging
measurements. The measurement process has developed from the
conventional wireline logging into the logging-while-drilling
stage.
For such a fast developing technology with applications that are
interesting to readers of different backgrounds, it is necessary to
have systematic documentation of the discipline, including the
theory, methods, and applications, as well as the technology's
past, present, and near future development trends. "Quantitative
Borehole Acoustic Methods" provides such documentation, with
emphasis on the development over the past decade. Although
considerable effort has been made to provide a thorough basis for
the theory and methodology development, emphasis is placed on the
applications of the developed methods. The applications are
illustrated with field data examples. Many of the acoustic waveform
analysis/processing methods described in the book are now widely
used in the well logging industry.
