The propagation and dispersion characteristics of guided waves in a fluid‐filled borehole are studied using dispersion curves and modeling full‐wave acoustic logs by synthetic microseismograms. The dispersion characteristics of the pseudo‐Rayleigh (reflected) and Stoneley waves in a borehole with and without a tool in the center are compared. Effects of different tool properties are calculated. The effect of a rigid tool is to make the effective borehole radius smaller. As an approximation, dispersion characteristics of the guided waves in a borehole with a tool can be calculated as a purely fluid‐filled borehole with a smaller effective radius. Theoretical waveforms (microseismograms) of elastic waves propagating in a borehole are calculated using a discrete wavenumber integration. With an appropriate choice of parameters, our results look similar to the acoustic waveforms recorded in a limestone and a shale formation. Several factors affect the shape of an acoustic log microseismogram. The effective rad...
