Abstract
A method and system for locating a reflector in a formation. The method may comprise broadcasting a sonic waveform as a shear formation body wave or a compressional formation body wave into the formation, recording a reflected wave from a reflector with the one or more receivers as dipole data by the dipole receiver and quadrupole data by the quadrupole receiver, and processing the dipole data and the quadrupole data with an information handling system to determine a location of the reflector from the borehole sonic logging tool. The system may comprise a borehole sonic logging tool and an information handling system. The borehole sonic logging tool may comprise one or more transmitters configured to transmit a sonic waveform into a formation and one or more receivers configured to record a reflected wave as a dipole receiver for dipole data and a quadrupole receiver for quadrupole data.
