Stoneley wave detection by acoustic Interferometry: Estimation of shear velocity of a geological formation

Résumé

Both active and passive full waveform acoustic loggings (FWAL), complemented by a flow log, were conducted in a borehole of an experimental site located in the Cher region (France).. The acoustic tool used for the FWAL experiments is a flexible monopole tool holding a pair of piezoelectric receivers and a magnetostrictive transducer. The tool was modified to perform both active and passive FWAL. For passive acoustic logging, several runs were recorded to obtain a set of acoustic noise sections. As the noise is simultaneously recorded by two receivers of the tool, an interference noise section was elaborated by correlating or deconvolving the pair of signals and then summing these pairs of acoustic traces at each depth. This procedure, which can be interpreted as an interferometry analysis, points out the presence of low-frequency waves identified as Stoneley waves. The velocity and RMS amplitude of the Stoneley wave were computed at each depth. It is shown that: 1- the Stoneley wave velocity obtained in passive mode can be used to estimate the shear velocity of the formation, 2- the RMS amplitude and velocity variations of the Stoneley waves are strongly correlated with the variations of the flowmeter.
