Abstract
Systems and methods for identifying a potential third interface echo (TIE) using objective criteria are provided. A system includes an acoustic logging tool that obtains measurements in a wellbore and a data processing system that has a processor that receives the measurements from the acoustic logging tool. The data processing system may identify a third interface echo (TIE) using a neural network and/or by a signal analysis method based on the behavioral characteristics of the TIE signal.
