Skin Calculation and Other Applications with New Sonic Measurement in the Gulf of Thailand

Since the first sonic logging tool used for the petroleum industry in 1950s, we have seen many generations of acoustic<br>measurements. The hardware and software changes made over the decades focused mainly on the improvements of<br>compressional and shear measurements which are one dimensional in the near-wellbore region. To understand the complicated<br>reservoirs today, there is a need to look at the compressional and shear slowness in three dimensions.
