Abstract

See full text

A system and method for measuring a formation property in a wellbore is disclosed. In the method, an acoustic measurement tool is introduced into a wellbore. The acoustic measurement tool may include a transmitter and a plurality of sensors. At least one of the plurality of sensors may be positioned in a non-uniform spacing configuration. The transmitter may transmit energy into the formation. The plurality of sensors may measure energy received from the formation. Additionally, a time semblance of the formation may be determined using at least one time semblance algorithm generalized for non-uniform sensor spacing.
