ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An apparatus and method of use thereof are dis- closed herein for determining cement conditions adjacent a casing set within a wellbore. At least one acoustic transmitting and receiving transducer and at least one acoustic receiving transducer are positioned into contact with the interior surface of the casing. At least one pulse of acoustic energy is transmitted into the media surrounding the wellbore from the at least one acoustic transmitting and receiving transducer. Electrical signals are generated in response to acoustic energy received by both transducers from the surrounding media. Representa- tions of the generated electrical signals are recorded as a function of the depth within the wellbore and are indi- cative of the cement conditions, including the casing- cement bond, the cement-formation bond, cement thickness, and the acoustic velocity associated with the cement.
