Abstract

Waves from cement bond logging with a sonic logging-while-drilling tool (LWD-CBL) are often contaminated with tool waves and may yield biased CBL amplitudes. The disclosed LWD-CBL wave processing corrects the first echo amplitudes of LWD-CBL before calculating the BI. The LWD-CBL wave processing calculates a tool wave amplitude and a phase angle difference as the difference of the phases between the tool waves and casing waves. The tool waves are then used to correct the LWD-CBL casing wave amplitude and remove errors introduced from tool waves. In conjunction with the sets of operations described, the LWD-CBL wave processing also include array preprocessing operations. Array preprocessing may employ variation of bandpass filtering and frequency-wavenumber (F-K) filtering operations to suppress tool wave.
