Abstract
Full waveform acoustic well logging has become instrumental to hydrocarbon exploration because of its ability to determine in situ velocity information for P and S waves as well as the attenuation (or absorption) of seismic energy. It is therefore important that the factors infuencing these logs be understood. In addition to formation properties, Poisson's ratio, the borehole environment, and tool centering can affect the full waveform acoustic logs. These latter factors are evaluated through modeling of elliptic boreholes and de-centralized tools in the borehole.
