Abstract
Methods and apparatus facilitating radial profiling of formation mobility are disclosed. Radial profiling of formation mobility aids in an optimal completion of a well for enhanced production. Some aspects of the present invention provide a technique for radial profiling of formation mobility based on inverting differences between a Stoneley radial profile of horizontal shear slowness and a dipole radial profile of vertical shear slowness for a reservoir interval.
