... for the new tool. Finally, the obtained LWD dipole shear slowness logs are compared with those from a wireline dipole tool. As a result, we demonstrate that the acquisition of reliable dipole data (in very fast formations, where there is a good slowness separation between the formation and the collar flexural...

... Abstract This paper describes new modeling capabilities and processing/inversion workflows to output dipole shear anisotropy answer products, such as the fast and slow dipole shear slownesses; and the fast-shear polarization direction. A major objective is to model the coupling between...
