Abstract
A downhole measurement tool configured to be run through a bore includes a source and a 3-component receiver. The source is configured to emit a signal into a volume of material surrounding the bore. The source signal propagates through the material surrounding the bore and reflects off of features within the material surrounding the bore. The three-component receiver includes a first, a second, and a third element. The first element is oriented in a first plane, orthogonal to an axis of the bore, and receives a first component of the set of reflections of the source signal. The second element is oriented in the first plane, orthogonal to the first element, and receives a second component of the set of reflections of the source signal. The third element is oriented parallel to the axis and receives a third component of the set of reflections of the source signal.
