  • Publication number: 20230296799
    Abstract: A method, article and system are provided for processing and interpreting acoustic data. The method and system includes providing a number of acoustic processing elements, each element being associated with an acoustic mode of a number of acoustic modes of a sonic measurement tool adapted to acquire data representing acoustic measurements in a borehole. In addition the method and system includes providing a user interface to organize a processing chain of the number of acoustic processing elements such that the acoustic processing elements process the acquired data according to a predefined workflow.

  • Patent number: 8848484
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus to filter acoustic waveforms in downhole environments are described. An example method involves receiving acoustic waveform data representing acoustic signals traversing at least a portion of a borehole adjacent a subterranean formation and performing a direct transform operation on the acoustic waveform data to generate wavelet map data. The wavelet map data comprises a time-frequency representation of the acoustic waveform data.

  • Publication number: 20100088471
    Abstract: Disclosed is a field device comprising: a storage section to store shared data which is shared between user modules; an interface section to obtain trigger information to access the shared data, and to output access information which includes an access content of the shared data and an access request of the shared data, based on the obtained trigger information; and a control section to access the shared data which is stored in the storage section, based on the access information which has been output by the interface section.
