Abstract

Certain aspects and features relate to a system that includes a well tool configured to transmit an acoustic signal, detect a reflection signal, and transmit data representing the reflection signal. A processor analyzes the data to identify a pulse portion of the reflection signal, which is distinct from a reverberation portion. The processor determines a value for an attribute of the reflection signal, and executes a model to generate a first set of synthetic values for the attribute of the reflection signal and a second set of synthetic values for an impedance of a cement casing. The processor can then generate a lookup table that correlates the first set of synthetic values to the second set of synthetic values. By referencing the lookup table, processor can determine the impedance of the cement casing and alter a drilling plan or a completion plan based on the impedance of the cement casing.
