Abstract: Systems and methods of the present disclosure relate to signal attenuation for acoustic logging tools. An acoustic logging tool includes acoustic transducers. Each acoustic transducer includes a body, a piezoelectric element disposed on a first end of the body to receive or transmit at least one signal, and a wedge-cut disposed on an opposite end of the body. The wedge-cut defines a sloped portion operable to attenuate signals.

Abstract: A downhole sensor position adjustment device on a downhole sensor assembly comprising a set of centralizers and a sensor array coupled to an adjustable framework radially positionable by an actuator. The actuator includes an extend-retract mechanism to radially position the sensor array a predetermined radial distance to an inner surface of a casing. A controller communicatively coupled to the extend-retract mechanism is configured to actuate the extend-retract mechanism. A positioning sensor provides feedback of the predetermined radial distance of the sensor array to the inner surface of the casing.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable medium for generating a three-dimensional fracture network model are provided. The method can include receiving reflected acoustic signal measurements acquired in response to emission of acoustic waves by one or more sensors disposed in a wellbore formed within a target region. Each reflected acoustic signal measurement represents a strength of a reflected acoustic wave as a function of time measured in at least one predetermined direction oriented with respect to an axis of the wellbore. A fracture extension estimate is generated for each of the reflected acoustic signal measurements. A three-dimensional fracture network model is generated corresponding to the fracture extension estimates generated for each of the plurality of reflected acoustic measurements. The generated fracture network model is output for display or use in modeling environments.

Abstract: A method of estimating a characteristic of a formation includes: disposing a radar imaging tool in a borehole; generating a high frequency radar signal by a radar transmitter, the high frequency radar signal having a frequency configured to limit penetration of the radar signal to a near-borehole region of the formation, the near-borehole region including a surface of the borehole and a region of the borehole proximate to the surface; detecting return signals reflected from the near-borehole region; generating an image of the near-borehole region based on the return signals; and estimating a characteristic of the formation based on the image.
