ABSTRACT:
A logging sonde has directivity control of multiple sources and receivers in linear arrays. Each of the sources produces acoustic pulses which are delayed by a time delay between the sources to direct acoustic energy at an angle such that the resulting acoustic wave strikes a vertical formation orthogonally. The reflections of the acoustic pulses are detected with a linear array of receivers. The acoustic pulse detected by each receiver is delayed by an amount such that the total differential moveout for a reflected directional wave is zero.
