Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A method and apparatus for estimating shear wave velocities where such velocities are difficult or impossible to measure because the shear energy transmission is attenuated or its velocity is equal to or less than direct mud velocity or because the shear wave may not propagate at all under certain conditions. The method and apparatus relate to an indirect technique for determining shear modulus by measuring the phase velocity of the Stoneley wave excitation and using it to estimate the shear modulus and the shear velocity. Using at least two receivers a window, is placed over the Stoneley arrival of the wave detected at each receiver and the Fourier transform of each wave is taken. The …

Why it's free to use
- Granted August 26, 1986. A Canadian patent filed before October 1, 1989 lasted 17 years from grant, so its term ended August 26, 2003.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
