Abstract: A disclosed example method includes providing, in a borehole, a transmitter (Tx) and receivers (Rxs) spaced linearly from Tx at known distances, measuring linear propagation times (LPts) for a signal to propagate from Tx to each of Rxs, determining an inline velocity (VINL) based on LPts, measuring reflection times (Rts) for a signal to propagate from Tx to each of the Rxs via a boundary, for each of Rts, providing a time-distance anisotropic velocity (TDAV) relationship depending on an effective signal velocity (ESV) in an anisotropic formation adjacent the boundary as a function of reflection angle for the reflection time signal to the boundary, VINL and orthogonal velocity, performing semblance processing to combine the TDAV relationships with VINL for a best-fit calculation of the ESVs for the different reflection angles of the reflection time signals, and calculating a distance for the corresponding receiver to the boundary on the calculation.

Abstract: Methods and related systems are described for measuring and analyzing refracted acoustic energy. A plurality of receivers mounted are on a downhole tool, and are arranged and adapted to receive refracted acoustic energy from a downhole formation. Measurements of refracted acoustic energy is analyzed such that information relating to an azimuthal direction relative to the downhole tool of an interface within the downhole formation can be estimated. The receivers can be mounted on a drill collar as part of a LWD tool and steering of the drilling trajectory can be based in part on the estimated formation information.
