Abstract

See full text

A method for examining integrity of cement in a wellbore includes deploying an ultrasound transducer within a wellbore. One or more reference ultrasound images of the cement within the wellbore are acquired. A pushing pulse is emitted from the ultrasound transducer to elicit a displacement of the cement within the wellbore. A sequence of ultrasound images is acquired, over time, depicting the displacement of the cement within the wellbore elicited by the pushing pulse. A strain tensor map is generated from a difference between the one or more reference ultrasound images and the acquired sequence of ultrasound images. A degree of integrity of the cement within the wellbore is determined based on the generated strain tensor map.
