    摘要: An improved method of fluid analysis in the borehole of a well. A fluid sampling tool is fitted with a pumpout module that can be used to draw fluids from the formation, circulate them through the instrument, and then expel this fluid to the borehole. It has been determined that certain measurements would be most valuable to implement down hole, such as the formation fluid bubble point and dew point. Accurate bubble point and dew point measurements are made by forming bubbles or a liquid drop in a measured sample, and detecting same.

    摘要: A method for determining the nuclear magnetic resonance longitudinal magnetization decay of formations surrounding an earth borehole that involves: providing a logging device moveable through the borehole; applying a static magnetic field in the formations to align spins in the formations in the direction of the static magnetic field; producing a tipping pulse for tipping the direction of the spins with respect to the static magnetic field direction; and detecting the time varying magnitude of the spin magnetization as the magnetization returns toward the static magnetic field direction; the longitudinal magnetization decay being determinable from the detected time varying magnitude of the spin magnetization. Related methods and apparatus for implementing these methods are also described.

    摘要: Borehole NMR logging apparatus and methods, and methods for the interpretation thereof. A logging tool is provided which produces a strong, static and homogeneous magnetic field B.sub.0 in a Volume of an adjacent formation on one side of the tool to measure nuclear magnetic resonance characteristics thereof. In the preferred embodiment, the tool has an RF antenna mounted on the outside of the metal body of the tool, directing focussed oscillating magnetic fields B.sub.1 at said Volume to polarize or tip the Magnetic moments of hydrogen nuclei of fluids within rock pores. The same antenna can be used to receive signals of proton precession in the Volume of interest immediately after transmission of the RF polarizing field B.sub.1. Extremely rapid damping of the antenna between the transmitting and receiving modes of operation is accomplished by a Q-switch disclosed herein. The invention provides for the direct measurement of NMR decay having transverse relaxation time T.sub.2 behavior, and further provides for the fast repetition of pulsed measurements from within a borehole. An additional magnet array may be mounted offset from the first magnet configuration to prepolarize a formation before it is measured in order to pre-align a larger number of protons than the single magnet configuration could do by itself. Additional features of the invention are disclosed which increase the Signal/Noise ratio of the measured data, and improve the quality and quantity of borehole NMR measurements, per unit of time spent. Disclosed interpretation methods determine fluid flow permeability and longitudinal relaxation time T.sub.1 -type parameters by directly comparing the measured decay signals (such as T.sub.2 or T.sub.2 * type decay) to a representation which responds to both the decay time t.sub.dec and the imposed polarization period prior to such decay, t.sub.poi. The parameters of amplitude and T.sub.1 are determined and combined with certain preferred methods to generate robust values of the formation characteristics such as fluid flow permeability. Other related methods are disclosed.

    摘要: In the apparatus and method of the invention, acoustic energy is propagated in two slightly differing, or offset, circumferential paths in such a way as to interact with the formation under investigation. The propagating energy is detected and the resulting waveforms are compared using semblance. The waveforms corresponding to the respective paths will be quite similar provided that the length of the paths are equal and that there are no fractures or other similar anomalies between the source and receiver. The waveforms for the respective paths will be quite dissimilar, however, if a fracture or similar anomaly does lie between the source and receiver for the respective paths. The semblance may be displayed in log format.
