This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18492599 titled 'CEMENT VALIDATION BY DOWNHOLE ULTRASONIC MEASUREMENTS
Original Abstract Submitted
A method comprises positioning a transducer assembly to a casing string disposed in a wellbore formed in a subsurface formation, wherein an annular area between the casing string and the subsurface formation is at least partially filled with sealant. The method comprises transmitting, via the transducer assembly, signals into a measurement channel of the transducer assembly that is at least partially filled with the sealant. The method comprises acquiring, via the transducer assembly, response signals in response to transmission of the signals through the measurement channel. The method comprises determining one or more characteristics of the sealant in the measurement channel based on the response signals.
