    Abstract: A magnet array is disclosed which is suitable for inter alia producing a remote field for use in unilateral magnetic resonance. In the “Magnet Array”, two separated magnets, which are magnetized along a substantially same collinear magnetization direction, produce a field with a local maximum centered above and between them. The field produced by the two separated magnets is substantially parallel to the collinear magnetization direction of the two separated magnets. A third magnet is centered between the two separated magnets. The third magnet has a magnetization direction which is substantially parallel to the collinear magnetization direction of the two separated magnets. The third magnet produces a field which is substantially parallel to the collinear magnetization direction of the two separated magnets, and adds to the increasing field below the local maximum point produced by the two separated magnets. The field of the third magnet, which decays with distance, adds to the increasing field below the local maximum point. The position of the third magnet is selected in order to generate a total field which has at least one of its first and second spatial derivatives with respect to the distance above the magnet array substantially equal to zero.

    Abstract: Single-shot methods suitable for determining capillary pressure and relative permeability curves in petroleum reservoir core plugs are proposed. Three classes of measurement are outlined. (i) Measurements undertaken with steady state gas flow and stationary water or oil phases in the rock. SPRITE (Single-Point Ramped Imaging with T1 Enhancement) MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) spin density images map spatially varying fluid content. (ii) Similar measurements are proposed with a stationary gas phase and flowing water or oil phases. (iii) Measurements are also possible with either water or oil as the stationary phase, with the other phase undergoing steady state flow. In all cases the outflow boundary condition is maintained, capillary pressure zero, by washing the outlet face of the sample with the stationary fluid phase.

    Abstract: A unilateral NMR sensor comprising a ferromagnetic yoke; a permanent magnet arranged on the yoke; a pole piece on the magnet; the pole piece including an air-pole piece interface surface whose shape corresponds to an equipotential contour of magnetic scalar potential. An approach for designing single-sided magnets suitable for unilateral magnetic resonance (UMR) measurements is presented. The method uses metal pole pieces to shape the field from permanent magnets in a target region. The pole pieces are shaped according to solutions to Laplace's equation, and can be designed using a combination of analytical methods and numerical optimization. The design leads to analytical expressions for the pole piece shape and magnetic field. The method is developed in Cartesian, polar, and spherical coordinates, and the merits of each system are discussed. The effects of finite magnet size on the field quality are explored through simulation, and are found to have a substantial effect in many cases. A magnet is designed using our method to produce a static field with a constant gradient over a region 2 cm in diameter and 2 mm thick. This leads to a compact cylindrical magnet just over 11 cm in diameter, topped with a single metal pole piece. The design is validated through simulation. The simulated field is found to agree closely with that specified analytically through the design procedure.

    Abstract: Single-shot methods suitable for determining capillary pressure and relative permeability curves are proposed. For steady-state gas flow, with stationary water or oil remaining in a porous rock core and the outflow boundary condition (capillary pressure is zero) is maintained by washing the outlet face of the core with the stationary phase, the gas pressure distribution, P(x), is determined by SPRITE (Single-Point Ramped Imaging with T1 Enhancement) MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) spin density imaging of flowing gas, since the spin density of gas is directly proportional to the pressure of the gas phase. Water or oil saturation distribution, S(x), at the present of steady-state flowing gas, is measured with MRI. The combination of P(x) and S(x) yields a capillary pressure curve, Pc(S) and relative permeability curve of flowing gas phase, Krg(S) can be determined with differential form of Darcy's law and ideal gas equations for gas flowing at steady-state. Some embodiments include the steps of providing a porous rock core having a length, an inlet face, and an outlet face; saturating the porous rock core with a first fluid; displacing the first fluid by applying a second fluid to the inlet face of the porous rock core; washing the outlet face of the porous rock core with said second fluid so as to maintain an outflow boundary condition; determining that a substantially steady-state condition has been reached whereat the fluid saturation distribution and pressure distribution along the length of the core do not substantially change with time; performing a single-shot measurement of at least one of a fluid saturation distribution measurement of the porous rock core and a pressure distribution measurement of the porous rock core; and determining a property of the porous rock core by using the single-shot measurement.
