    Abstract: A method for characterizing a fluid sample withdrawn from an earth formation. The method includes performing nuclear magnetic resonant spin echo measurements on the fluid sample at a nuclear magnetic resonant frequency of carbon-13. Amplitudes of the spin echo measurements are summed. The summed measurements are spectrally analyzed. The fluid is characterized by determining whether aromatic hydrocarbons are present by measuring an amplitude of the spectrally analyzed spin echo measurements at about 130 part per million shift from the carbon-13 frequency. The fluid is also characterized by determining whether aliphatic hydrocarbons are present by measuring an amplitude of the spectrally analyzed spin echo measurements at about 30 parts per million frequency shift.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for performing NMR measurements suppressing contribution to NMR signals from within the borehole. Within the region of examination, the RF magnetic field has a spatially varying intensity. NMR signals (free induction decay or spin echo signals) are inverted to give spin density as a function of field intensity. This inversion is then mapped to spatial positions using the known RF field variation. The effect of signals arising from within the borehole can be suppressed. It is also possible to obtain an azimuthal image of the spin density.

    Abstract: Measurements from many logging instruments such as Gamma ray counts from a pulsed neutron instrument, and amplitudes of spin-echo signals from a NMR instrument, typically have a spectrum that contains a plurality of exponentially decaying components. The slowest decaying component is obtained by fitting a single exponential over the tail end of the data and selecting a beginning for the fitting window that minimizes the product of the chi-square and the standard error of the fit. The single determined component may be subtracted from the data and the process repeated to give additional components. The determined components are indicative of thermal neutron capture cross-sections (in the case of a pulsed neutron instrument) and of the distribution of relaxation times and fluids within the pores of a rock in the case of a NMR instrument.
