Abstract
A method for monitoring a formation property includes determining at least two slowness values from at least two datasets each characterizing an acoustic wave having a different frequency traversing a formation; and deriving an indicator based on the at least two slowness values. A system for monitoring a formation property includes a process and a memory, wherein the memory stores a program having instructions for: determining at least two slowness values from at least two datasets each characterizing an acoustic wave having a different frequency traversing a formation; and deriving an indicator based on the at least two slowness values.
