A new approach to the processing of sequences of full waveform acoustic logs is investigated. The rationale for this approach is primarily based on the observation that
processing and interpretation tasks strongly depend on each other. Hence, a system
that incorporates geologic knowledge in data processing naturally and uses processing
results for petrophysical evaluation can improve the overall geological interpretation.
The implementation of such ideas requires the use of a versatile computer environment,
allowing numeric and symbolic processing. The new generation of Lisp machines
satisfies these characteristics.
An interactive environment for the processing of sequences of acoustic signals was
designed using object-oriented programming. The package includes a novel method for
acoustic full waveform signal matching that uses dynamic time warping. The system is
tested on synthetic data and field data are processed.
