Abstract
A method for characterizing a bond between a first tubular disposed in a borehole and a structure outside of the tubular, the method includes transmitting a signal into and through the first tubular using a signal transmitter conveyed through the borehole and detecting a return signal using a return signal receiver conveyed through the borehole to provide return signal information in a time domain. The method also includes transforming the return signal information in the time domain to return signal information in a frequency domain using a transform and determining a difference between the return signal information in the frequency domain and reference frequency domain return signal information. The method further includes characterizing the bond of the first tubular to the structure outside of the first tubular using the difference to provide a characterization of the bond.
