Abstract:
Methods estimating a property of a porous media include: saturating a sample of the porous media; spinning the sample in a centrifuge with a first end of the sample closer to an axis of rotation of the centrifuge than a second end of the sample; obtaining a first estimate of the first property; saturating the sample of the porous media; spinning the sample in a centrifuge with the second end of the sample closer to the axis of rotation of the centrifuge than the first end of the sample; obtaining a second estimate of the first property; and determining the second property of the porous media based at least in part on the first estimate of the first property and the second estimate of the first property. The first property can be a T2 distribution and the second property can be a T2 cutoff.
