The Halliburton Borehole Sonic Array Tool (BSAT) service integrates two monopole transmitters with an array of five receivers. This

tool configuration provides borehole compensation of the P-wave measurement. The full waveform data is digitally recorded for each receiver, thus permitting advanced data analysis and quality control for waveform amplitude, slowness, and arrival time in both openhole and cased-hole applications.

The BSAT tool is over 12 ft shorter than many other acoustic logging tools. While not compromising data quality, the reduction in tool length helps speed up rig-up and rig-down times, especially when lubricator and pressure-control equipment are required.

The P-wave slowness is obtained using a robust waveform cross- correlation coherency process, which uses the waveform data from the entire receiver array. The process evaluates many attributes of the waveform data before selecting, in real time, the acoustic velocities of the  formation.

The BSAT tool can also be used for 3 to 5-ft Cement Bond Log-Variable Density Log (CBL-VDL) measurements and can be run in combination with any LOGIQ® tool service.
