ABSTRACT
Acoustical coupling is proposed as a new measurement to complement the attenuation rate measurement now available with multispacing cement bond logging tools. Coupling responds principally to the mechanical impedance and distribution of material outside the casing, but is largely insensitive to bonding. Estimates of cement strength may be obtained even in the presence of microannulus.
