摘要
The present invention provides a system for drilling boreholes having a downhole subassembly which contains an acoustic measurement-while-drilling system. It uses the acoustic velocity through the formations surrounding the borehole and an acoustic transmitter and a set of receivers for determining the bed boundaries surrounding the borehole formation. An acoustic isolator on the tool may be used to attenuate body waves traveling between the transmitter and the receivers. Additional attenuation of the body waves is provided by a threshold filter based upon the absolute maximum of the received signals. Semblance of the data is determined in a slowness/intercept-time domain. Coherence and semblance filtering methods are used to differentiate between reflection signals and noise. The position and orientation of the bed boundary relative to the tool are determined. A further processing step uses the relative position and orientation determined for a number of tool positions to further discriminate against noise and obtain an absolute position and depth of the bed boundaries.
