ACOUSTIC RECEIVER ASSEMBLY FOR DOWNHOLE TOOLS.

摘要

The disclosure addresses acoustic receivers including an acoustic isolator structure, and an acoustic logging tool which incorporates the acoustic receiver. The acoustic receiver isolation structure is configured to minimize acoustic transmissions which could otherwise adversely affect acoustical measurements being made by an acoustic receiver. The described acoustic receiver includes a plurality of longitudinally arranged mass members coupled to a central supporting structure, in a configuration to reduce acoustic transmissions in at least selected frequency ranges.
