Abstract
Methods and systems for determining a drilling-induced rock damage map are disclosed. The method includes obtaining a sonic dataset, including sonic waveforms recorded at a plurality of source-receiver separations for a plurality of source positions along an axis of a wellbore. The method further includes determining a log of a first metric using the sonic dataset and determining a map of a second metric using the sonic dataset. The method still further includes determining the drilling-induced rock damage map based, at least in part, on the log of the first metric and the map of the second metric.
