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: In some embodiments, a downhole logging tool configured for placement in a wellbore comprises a first magnet configured to activate a first volume of ferromagnetic fluid disposed between the downhole logging tool and the wellbore to achieve a first seal between a primary analysis region of the downhole logging tool and a wellbore fluid.

Abstract: A method for identifying guided waves in a measurement set. The method may comprise disposing an acoustic logging tool into a wellbore, performing a measurement operation with the acoustic logging too in the wellbore to form a data set which comprises one or more guided waves, measuring a speed of the one or more guided waves, and identifying a fluid phase interface using the speed of the one or more guided waves. The method may further comprise estimating an acoustic velocity of a wellbore fluid using a database and interpreting the fluid phase based at least in part on the acoustic velocity of the wellbore fluid.
