ABSTRACT:
Techniques for processing sonic waveform data include processing the data based on an initial set of formation-borehole parameters, to produce initial coherence peak attributes, wherein the processing is performed in a borehole; sending the initial coherence peak attributes uphole via telemetry; and correcting the initial coherence peak attributes, based on a second set of formation-borehole parameters, to produce corrected coherence peak attributes.
