Abstract

A device and method for determining a geophysical characteristic of a borehole using at least one logging device is provided, wherein the at least one logging device includes at least one sensing device. The method includes associating the at least one sensing device with the borehole, wherein the at least one sensing device includes a sensing device measurement length. The method also includes operating the at least one sensing device to generate borehole data responsive to a borehole portion disposed essentially adjacent the sensing device measurement length, wherein the borehole data includes start time of scan, location of the at least one sensing device at start time of scan, stop time of scan and location of the at least one sensing device at stop time of scan. Furthermore, the method includes correlating the borehole data to determine the geophysical characteristic.
