    摘要: A method for determining the concentration of asphaltenes in a solution is described. A model is first established for estimating the concentration of asphaltenes in a solution based on multiple samples of solutions of asphaltenes in the solvent in which the concentrations are known. The multiple samples have varying concentrations of asphaltenes. The diffusivity and relaxation time are measured for each sample using two-dimensional NMR. The ratio of diffusivity to relaxation time for each sample is then calculated. A linear equation is determined to fit the relationship between the ratio of diffusivity to relaxation time and the asphaltene concentration by weight for the multiple samples, thus creating the model. For a given solution sample for which the concentration of asphaltenes is desired to be determined, diffusivity and relaxation time are determined using two-dimensional NMR, and the ratio of diffusivity to relaxation time is calculated. This ratio is then used with the model, so that the linear equation can be solved for the asphaltene concentration in the given solution sample.

    摘要: Molecular structures of organic molecules in a geological formation are determined. The organic molecules may include kerogen, coal, and/or other organic molecules. In particular, the technique implmented may operate to convert nuclear magnetic resonance data into a multi-dimensional space that permits identification of molecular structures through comparisons of intensity information across the multi-dimensional space with a cutoff map of the space. This may not only simplify the identification of molecular structures of the organic molecules, but also use exact mathematical model for mixture samples to derive both structural and dynamic parameters plus their variation.

    摘要: The present invention enables the use of a global optimization method for performing joint-inversion of multiple petrophysical data sets, using forward models based on first principle of physics, to generate a 3D rock representation of a subsurface rock structure. The resulting 3D rock representation captures the internal structure, and honors the measured petrophysical properties, of the subsurface rock structure. The 3D rock representation can then be used to predict additional properties not considered in the inversion, to further characterize the subsurface rock structure.

    摘要: The present invention relates generally to an apparatus and method for measuring nuclear magnetic resonance properties of an earth formation traversed by a borehole by generating gradient-echoes. The measurement can be made while drilling or using a wireline tool. The apparatus applies a static magnetic field, B.sub.a, in a volume of the formation which polarizes the nuclei of hydrogenous connate fluids within the formation. The apparatus applies a second magnetic field, B.sub.b, in a volume of the formation. The magnetic fields B.sub.a and B.sub.b are substantially orthogonal in the volume of the formation. A change in the polarity of the magnetic field, B.sub.b, reverses the direction of precession of the nuclei thereby generating a train of gradient-echoes. Each gradient-echo signal is transformed into the frequency domain and the signal frequency is mapped to a radial position in the volume of the formation in order to generate an image of the formation. Various properties of the formation, such as the effective diffusion coefficient of the formation fluid, longitudinal relaxation time, spin--spin relaxation time, and porosity can be estimated from the train of gradient-echoes.

    摘要: The present invention provides a method for obtaining a multi-dimensional proton density distribution from a system of nuclear spins. A plurality of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) data is acquired from a fluid containing porous medium having a system of nuclear spins. A multi-dimensional inversion is performed on the plurality of nuclear magnetic resonance data using an inversion algorithm to solve a mathematical problem employing a single composite kernel to arrive at a multi-dimensional proton density distribution. Ideally, the mathematical problem can be cast in the form of a Fredholm integral of the first kind wherein a two or more kernels can be reduced to a single composite kernel for ease of solution. Preferably, a series of conventional CPMG pulse sequences, using a conventional NMR tool, can be used to excite the system of nuclear spins. The present invention further includes a regression method which reduces computational efforts by retaining only those grid points, and preferably their neighboring grid points, which have non-zero values, during subsequent iterations of solving for the multi-dimensional proton density distribution. This regression process can be repeated until the density distribution is satisfactorily smooth.

    摘要: The present invention relates generally to a nuclear magnetic resonance apparatus and method for substantially eliminating the effects of phase coherent acoustic ringing in borehole logging. A series of cycles of measurement pulse sequences are applied to the formation surrounding the borehole. Each pulse sequence includes an RF excitation pulse and several RF refocusing pulses. Spin echoes are received that contain spurious ringing signals from the excitation and refocusing pulses. Spin echo signals from corresponding spin echoes of each cycle are combined and substantially cancel the spurious ringing from the excitation and refocusing pulses of the pulse sequences.

The magnet(s) establish a magnetic field in a region of a formation that at least partially surrounds the measurement apparatus. The RF transmission coils(s) transmit RF pulses pursuant to an NMR pulse sequence into the region to, in combination with the magnetic field, induce the generation of spin echo signals from a resonance volume within the region. The gradient coil(s) establish a pulsed gradient field in the resonance volume, and the circuitry is coupled to the gradient coil(s) to control the generation of the pulsed gradient field to phase encode the spin echo signals for purposes of high resolution imaging of the formation.

    摘要: The present invention relates generally to a method for eliminating ringing while measuring nuclear magnetic resonance properties of an earth formation traversed by a borehole. The measurement can be made while drilling or using a wireline tool. During a first time period of a single pulse sequence, the measurement includes the desired spin-echoes and the undesired effects, that is, ringing, measurement noise, and baseline shift. During a second time period of the single pulse sequence, the spin-echoes are eliminated but not the undesired effects. Using the signal collected during the second time period, the signals measured during the first time period are corrected to eliminate the ringing component, measurement noise, and baseline shift.
