摘要:
An NMR pulse sequence for use in a borehole logging tool includes a series of CPMG pulses according to:T.sub.r -90.degree..sub..+-.x -(t.sub.cp -180.degree..sub.y -t.sub.cp -echo.sub.j)where j is the index of CPMG echoes gathered, T.sub.r is wait time, t.sub.cp is the Carr-Purcell spacing. This pulse sequence is used to determine Bound Fluid Volume (BFV) which is subtracted from total porosity to yield Unbound Fluid Volume (UFV) of a formation surrounding the borehole. Measuring the BVF, the amount of rapidly relaxing fluid (less than 50 ms), is more efficient than measuring UFV (up to 2 secs), and is insensitive to motion of the logging tool.
摘要:
The disclosure invention is directed to a nuclear magnetic resonance measurement apparatus that can be utilized in a logging device which operates generally centrally in a borehole, and has a generally circumferential region of investigation, but which permits usage of relatively powerful permanent magnets, such as rare-earth magnets, that are not permeable to the RF magnetic field. This is achieved by employing side-by-side spaced apart elongated magnets, and an RF current loop in the region between the magnets. In a disclosed embodiment, the magnets are each in the shape of a segment of a cylinder, and the respective axes of elongation of the magnets are parallel. The magnets have respective casings with electrically conductive surfaces, and the RF current loop includes at least a portion of the conductive surfaces of the magnet casings.
摘要:
A borehole logging tool comprises a Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) tool and is pulsed according to a selected sequence. An interpretation is performed which involves a singular value decomposition and compression of data obtained by the tool. The compressed data is then subjected to a nonegative, linear least square fit to obtain a distribution function. The distribution function is used in determining bound fluid volume, unbound fluid volume, total porosity, spin-lattice relaxation time, spin-spin relaxation time, and mean relaxation time using only the pulse NMR tool.

An NMR pulse sequence for use in the borehole environment is provided which combines a modified fast inversion recovery (FIR) pulse sequence with a series of more than ten, and typically hundreds, of CPMG pulses according to[W.sub.i -180-.tau..sub.i -90-(t.sub.cp -180-t.sub.cp -echo).sub.j ].sub.iwhere j is the index of the CPMG echoes gathered, i is the index of the wait times in the pulse sequence, W.sub.i are the wait times, i are the recovery times before the CPMG pulses, and tcp is the Carr-Purcell spacing. Measurements are made of the signals induced in the formation as a result of the magnetic fields. Determinations of M.sub.o and/or T1 are then made from the measurements according to relationships which relate Mp.sub.o, T1 and T2 to the signal magnitude. Other relationships which provide stretched exponentials or multiple exponentials can also be used. From the M.sub.o and/or T1 determinations, formation parameters such as porosity and permeability may be derived according to equations known in the art. In obtaining the most accurate determinations of formation parameters in the least amount of time, the various pulse sequence parameters (I, J, W.sub.i, and .tau..sub.i) are optimized prior to logging. Additional accuracy is obtained by integrating a gated portion of the echoes rather than by measuring amplitude, and by utilizing a phase alternated CPMG sequence in repetitive measurements in order to eliminate baseline shift error.
