Abstract

A method for acoustic logging a wellbore includes making sonic logging measurements while rotating a logging while drilling tool in a wellbore, the sonic logging measurements including low frequency measurements and high frequency measurements; estimating a low frequency slowness of the subterranean formation from the low frequency measurements; estimating a high frequency slowness of the subterranean formation from the high frequency measurements; and classifying the subterranean formation as homogeneous when a difference between the low frequency slowness and the high frequency slowness is less than a threshold and heterogeneous when the difference is greater than the threshold.
