ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for determination of earth formation permeability in situ. A logging sonde supported in a borehole derives attenuation data from at least two ultrasonic energy transmission paths which have a common alignment but differing length, the attenuation data can then be used to determine an empirical X parameter that is directly related to formation permeability.
