Possibility of determining the quality of well perforation by local acoustic probing

A theoretical problem of local acoustic probing of a perforated segment of the well is considered. The effect of porosity and permeability of the porous medium surrounding the well and the quality of perforation (porosity, length, and radius of perforation channels) on the velocity and the coefficient of decay of harmonic waves and on the evolution of finite-duration waves propagating in the perforated segment is studied.
