Abstract
A technique includes receiving data acquired by an acoustic measurement tool in a well, where the data represents multiple acoustic modes, including a first order formation flexural acoustic mode and a higher order formation flexural acoustic mode. The technique includes processing the data to identify the higher order formation flexural acoustic mode; and determining a shear slowness based at least in part on slowness values that are associated with the identified higher order formation flexural acoustic mode.
