Downhole measurements of borehole mud and cementing properties

Abstract

A method or system comprising: disposing an acoustic logging tool into a borehole, wherein the acoustic logging tool is configured to: transmit one or more acoustic waves into the borehole with one or more transmitters; and receive one or more waveforms from the borehole or surrounding casing with an array of receivers. In addition, the method ay also comprise an information handling system configured to predict one or more waveforms at a shifted position with two waveforms recorded at an in-line position to form one or more predicted waveforms at a shifted position; and compare the one or more predicted waveforms at a shifted position with at least one or more waveforms recorded at a shifted position to yield a borehole mud attenuation and/or velocity.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
