An acoustic attenuator assembly for an acoustic tool for performing acoustic investigation of a subterranean formation is disclosed. The acoustic attenuator assembly includes a first end portion (205) and a second end portion (210) having a bore therethough to enable passage of an electrical line. The acoustic attenuator assembly further includes a fiber portion (230) disposed between the first and second end portion so that the fiber portion attenuates at least a portion of acoustic energy when the acoustic energy is received by one or both of the first (205) and second (210) end portions. The fiber portion (230) includes a continuous flexible portion that allows relative deflection of the first (205) and second (210) end portions.
An acoustic attenuator assembly for an acoustic tool for performing acoustic investigation of a subterranean formation, the acoustic attenuator assembly comprising:
A method for attenuating acoustic energy transmitted along an acoustic tool, wherein the acoustic tool comprises a transmitter section, a receiver section, and an attenuation section disposed between the transmitter and receiver sections, the method comprising:
