    摘要: A coaxial nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) probe and related methods are described herein. The coaxial NMR probe includes a housing with a fluid inlet, a fluid outlet, a longitudinal axis, and an interior volume. The housing contains a fluid sample that is analyzed by the probe. The coaxial NMR probe also includes an elongated conductor disposed along the longitudinal axis of the housing. The elongated conductor generates an oscillating electromagnetic field within the interior volume of the housing. The oscillating electromagnetic field produces a NMR signal within the fluid sample. The elongated conductor may also be used to receive this NMR signal. The NMR signal is then analyzed to determine information about the fluid sample. Various NMR pulse sequences for use with this coaxial probe and other coaxial probes are also described herein.

    摘要: A method of investigating an object using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) equipment includes generating a one-dimensional projection of the object for each of a plurality of echoes utilizing echo train signal indications resulting from pulse sequences, and utilizing the plurality of one-dimensional projections, for each of the plurality of echoes, generating NMR image data for at least one location in the object. The NMR image data may be displayed. The displayed data may include a T2 decay curve, a T2 value display, a T2 distribution graph, or petrophysical data for at least one object location.

    摘要: Methods and systems for determining surface relaxivity from nuclear magnetic resonance measurements relate to applying multiple nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) diffusion editing Carr-Purcell-Meiboom-Gill (CPMG) pulse sequences to the porous medium, wherein the diffusion editing CPMG pulse sequences have a diffusion encoding time Δ; receiving NMR data generated by the pulse sequences; processing the received NMR data to obtain a distribution f(T2,D) for the diffusion encoding time Δ; repeating the applying, the receiving, and the processing at least one time for pulse sequences having different respective diffusion encoding times Δ to obtain respective distributions f(T2,D) corresponding respectively to the different diffusion encoding times Δ; and utilizing the respectively obtained distributions f(T2,D) to generate a surface relaxivity (ρ) determination.
