Abstract

Methods and systems are disclosed for determining a material property transition within a wellbore. In some embodiments, a method includes determining a material transition profile for each of a plurality of test points within a linear measurement path including, for each test point, determining an acoustic response for a first location within the linear measurement path, and determining an acoustic response for a second location within the linear measurement path. The test point is between the first and second locations. The method further includes generating a material transition profile for the test point based, at least in part, on a difference between the acoustic response at the first location and the acoustic response at the second location.
