Unlock the full potential of your borehole sonic data with the Velocity Analysis Workspace, part of WellCAD’s Full Waveform Sonic (FWS) module. This powerful workspace enables geoscientists and engineers to process full waveform sonic data and accurately determine P-wave and S-wave velocities, providing the foundation for advanced geomechanical and petrophysical interpretation.

In this video, you will learn how to configure the Velocity Analysis Workspace, including borehole fluid and tool parameters before exploring the interactive environment designed to simplify waveform interpretation. The workspace combines synchronised waveform displays, slowness-time coherence analysis, frequency filtering, and slowness-frequency coherence plots, allowing you to optimize signal quality and identify the most reliable velocity picks with confidence.

The video also demonstrates how WellCAD’s coherence-based analysis helps estimate slowness across multiple receivers providing real-time visual feedback as processing parameters and enabling efficient manual or automatic tracking of both P-wave and S-wave arrivals. You will also discover features such as constrained tracking using the S-slowness minimum, automatic calculation of Poisson’s Ratio, Vp/Vs ratio and seamless export of the processed logs back into your borehole document for further interpretation.

Whether you are processing acoustic logging data for geotechnical, mining, groundwater, or oil and gas applications, this presentation provides a practical introduction to one of WellCAD’s most powerful analysis tools and demonstrates how to generate reliable velocity logs quickly and efficiently.
