Abstract

A method comprising: conveying a downhole tool in a tubing that is positioned in a casing that is positioned to form an annulus between the casing and a wall of a wellbore formed in a subsurface formation, wherein a cement with unknown bonding condition exists in the annulus, wherein the downhole tool includes at least one transmitter and a receiver array physically positioned in different azimuthal directions; emitting, from the at least one transmitter, a first and second acoustic transmissions in a first and second azimuthal directions; detecting, by the receiver array, a first acoustic response and a second acoustic response that is derived from the first and second acoustic transmissions, wherein the second azimuthal direction is orthogonal to the first azimuthal direction; determining a dipole wellbore resonance based on the first and acoustic responses; and evaluating a property of the cement based on the dipole wellbore resonance.
