Patent CA-2427119-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SLOAN W ROBERT
IPC: E21B47/08
Filed: 2003-04-30
Abstract: Methods for processing ultrasonic signal data to evaluate subsurface properties and tool orientation. Acoustic signals are transmitted into a plurality of azimuthal borehole positions.   Formation echo signal transit time distributions are then determined in a plurality of azimuthal sectors for the acoustic signals. Front face echo signal transit times are also measured and farther-mode and closer-mode transit times are determined for the distribution of formation echo signals. Farther and closer tool standoffs are determined for the azimuthal sectors and a borehole diameter is determined from a summation including standoffs in opposing sectors. The standoffs are also used to determine a preferential tool position.
