The Segmented Bond Tool is a new, innovative acoustic logging device that utilizes six pads and twelve high-frequency, steered transducers to accurately evaluate cement integrity both longitudinally and radially around the entire casing periphery. Two comprehensive presentations are available, both of which are easily interpreted. Several examples from commercial and test wells emphasize the versatility of this new high-tech tool design.
