Zusammenfassung: | Methods arc provided for using sonic tool data to investigate a multi-string wcllbore. The sonic data is processed to obtain indications of phase slowness dispersions for multiple locations in the wellbore. The dispersions are aggregated. The aggregated dispersions are compared with a plurality of cut-off mode templates to identify the presence of cut-off modes or the lack thereof in the aggregated phase slowness dispersions. Features of the multi-string wellbore are identified based on the presence of the cut-off modes or the lack thereof. In another method, the sonic data is processed to obtain indications as a function of depth of at least one of an energy spectrum, a semblance projection, a slowness dispersion projection, an attenuation dispersion projection, and a wavenumber dispersion projection. The indications are inspected to locate a shift at a particular depth indicat- ing a transition in at least oneannulus of the multi-string wellbore. |
