Slowness of the formation

Input(s)

dhd_{h}: Borehole Diameter (in.)

Δtm\Delta t_{m}: Interval Travel Time (μs/ft)(\mu \mathrm{s} / \mathrm{ft})

dtd_{t}: Tool Diameter (in.)

LsL_{s}: Spacing of the Tool (ft)

lcl_{c}: Eccentricity of the Tool (ft)

tlt_{l}: Time Between Initiation of the Pulse and First Arrival Acoustic Energy at the Receiver ( μs/ft\mu \mathrm{s} / \mathrm{ft} )

Output(s)

Δt\Delta t: Slowness of Formation Observed by Sonic Log (μs/ft)(\mu \mathrm{s} / \mathrm{ft})

tmt_{m}: Mud Path Correction Time (μs/ft)(\mu \mathrm{s} / \mathrm{ft})

Formula(s)

Δt=tltmLstm=(Δtm)(dh(dt+2lc))(1(ΔtΔtm)2)0.5\begin{gathered} \Delta t=\frac{t_{l}-t_{m}}{L_{s}} \\ t_{m}=\left(\Delta t_{m}\right) *\left(d_{h}-\left(d_{t}+2 * l_{c}\right)\right) *\left(1-\left(\frac{\Delta t}{\Delta t_{m}}\right)^{2}\right)^{0.5} \end{gathered}
