Full Wave Sonic Tool (FWS)


This tool has been specially designed to provide a full wave-form recording of sonic signals and uses fixed spaced transmitter – receivers. The received signals are digitised at fast sampling rate resulting in high resolution data. The data may be processed for P wave velocity (or transit time) and amplitude. Estimates of S wave velocity maybe obtained under suitable formation and borehole conditions.

The P wave velocity log may be user for identifying variations in hardness and porosity.

The log can only be achieved in fluid filled unlined boreholes.
