Abstract
A method and system for measuring a compressional and a shear slowness. The method may comprise disposing a downhole tool into a wellbore. The downhole tool may comprise a transmitter, wherein the transmitter is a monopole, and a receiver, wherein the receiver is a monopole receiver. The method may further comprise broadcasting the sonic waveform into the formation penetrated by the wellbore, recording a reflected wave on one or more receivers, wherein the reflected wave is a compressional wave or a shear wave, processing the reflected wave into at least one measurement, and applying a validation scheme to the at least one measurement. The system may be a downhole tool comprising a transmitter configured to transmit a sonic waveform into a formation, wherein the transmitter is a monopole, and a receiver configured to record a reflected wave, wherein the receiver is a monopole receiver.
