SONIC DATA LOGGING SYSTEM

摘要

A sonic logging method involves the pre-processing of a detection signal by a downhole processing device to determine the arrival time of a sonic signal at a receiver which is then transmitted to the surface. A suitable sonic logging downhole tool includes a control device for controlling generation and reception of the sonic signal, an A-D converter for digitizing the detected signal at a predetermined sampling interval, a first memory for storing the digitized waveform, a second memory for storing a program for processing the digitized waveform, and a microprocessor capable of executing the stored program so as to determine an arrival time of the sonic signal arriving at the receiver.
