Abstract:
Described are systems, devices, and methods for processing Eddy-current response signals acquired in a set of multiple nested pipes, such as, e.g., nested casing strings within a completed wellbore. In various embodiments, time boundaries between time slots within the Eddy-current response signals are determined adaptively based on an input response signal specific to the nested pipes (e.g., one of the measured signals itself). Additional embodiments are disclosed.

Claim (Index 17):
The system of  claim 16 , wherein the electromagnetic response signals are time-dependent, and wherein the processing facility is to determine the one or more time boundaries by:\n determining at least one estimated parameter for at least one of the pipes based on a portion of the at least one input response signal ending at an initial value of the time boundary; iteratively\n (i) increasing the time boundary to an increased value, \n (ii) determining the at least one estimated parameter for the at least one pipe based on a portion of the at least one input response signal ending at the increased value of the time boundary, and \n (iii) computing a difference metric between the at least one estimated parameter as computed for the increased time boundary and the at least one estimated parameter as computed for the immediately preceding iteration \n until the difference metric exceeds a specified threshold; and once the difference metric exceeds a specified threshold, setting the time boundary to a value that is substantially equal to the value of the time boundary in the immediately preceding iteration.
