METHOD FOR ANALYZING CEMENT QUALITY IN MULTI-STRING CASED WELLS USING SONIC LOGGING

Methods and systems are provided for determining cement quality in an outer annulus of a multi-string cased wellbore having an inner annulus of mud. Data from a sonic logging tool is processed to obtain a slowness dispersion. The slowness dispersion is compared to a plurality of model slowness dispe...

Zusammenfassung:	Methods and systems are provided for determining cement quality in an outer annulus of a multi-string cased wellbore having an inner annulus of mud. Data from a sonic logging tool is processed to obtain a slowness dispersion. The slowness dispersion is compared to a plurality of model slowness dispersions generated for a plurality of different values for cement quality in the outer annulus. The cement quality in the outer annulus is determined based on the comparison.
