Abstract

A logging-while-drilling (LWD) tool for use within a formation. The LWD tool may include a transmitter, a receiver, and an acoustic isolator. The transmitter may be operable to transmit an acoustic signal into the formation. The receiver may be operable to receive an acoustic response from the formation. The acoustic isolator may be positioned longitudinally between the transmitter and the receiver to reduce a transfer of acoustic energy between the transmitter and the receiver through the LWD tool. The acoustic isolator may include annular chambers formed in a body of the acoustic isolator and positioned along a longitudinal axis of the acoustic isolator.
