Apparatus and method for investigating wellbores and the like

摘要

An apparatus useful in investigating the wall surfaces of a structure defining a cavity comprising: a tool having a periphery and being capable of being at least partially located in the cavity; and a plurality of transducers located at different points on the periphery of the tool, each of the transducers being capable of sending first signals toward the wall surfaces of the cavity and receiving reflected second signals. An improved method for investigating the wall surfaces of a structure defining a cavity is also disclosed.
