Abstract: A method of sonic logging in which there is established at a depth of interest in a borehole a set of peak matrices comprised of peak vectors representative of a plurality of different characteristics of sonic signals traversing an earth formation. A set of rules is established based upon borehole sonic characteristics including the utilization of past histories of slowness and coherence values of wave components of interest. The matrices are searched in accordance with the rules to identify the presence in the sonic signals of wave components of interest, such, for example, as casing, compressional, shear and Stoneley. The identified wave components are recorded as a function of depth of interest, and the aforesaid steps are repeated at each depth of interest.

Abstract: A connector for a ceramic hybrid circuit to operatively associate the circuit to a cartridge chassis within a well-logging tool in a well borehole, has a plurality of spring-loaded electrically conductive contact pins which support the ceramic hybrid circuit so that it may sufficiently and freely move, without damage thereto, as a result of thermal expansion and contraction caused by temperature changes in the borehole and the ceramic hybrid circuit is sufficiently restrained to prevent damage thereto from shock and vibration forces exerted upon the well-logging tool.

Abstract: A side entry sub is disclosed having a stripping passage between the lower end of the sub and a recess in the sub body. A stripping element is disposed in the stripping passage to sealingly strip a logging cable as it moves into or out of the pipe string attached to the sub. A cable slot is provided in the outer part of the body and extends from a side opening to an opening in the recess. Upper and lower sheave wheels are rotatably mounted near the side opening and the recess opening operably providing a rotatable change of direction of a logging cable from outside the sub to the interior of an attached pipe string. The rotatable change of direction by rotation of the logging cable via the sheave wheels minimizes frictional resistance when it is running into or out of the pipe string.
