摘要:
A nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) apparatus includes a transmitting assembly configured to emit one or more dual-wait-time pulse sequences, and a receiving assembly configured to detect a long-wait-time echo train and a short-wait-time echo train. The apparatus also includes a processor configured to perform at least one of: estimating a difference between the long-wait-time echo train and the short-wait-time echo train to generate a differential echo-train, inverting the differential echo-train into a differential T2 distribution, and detecting a motion artefact in response to determining that the differential echo-train includes a short-T2 porosity fraction that is greater than a threshold value; and inverting two echo trains into two T2 distributions, calculating at least two porosity fractions for each of the two T2 distributions, estimating a shift of a porosity amount between the at least two porosity fractions, and detecting the motion artefact based on the shift.

The quality factor of a NMR-antenna depends upon mud conductivity, formation resistivity and the borehole size. The Q of the antenna is measured. From measurement of one of formation conductivity or borehole size, the other can be determined.

An apparatus and method for determining a parameter of interest of a formation composed of carbonate rock. A nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) sensor assembly produces a pulsed RF field designed for obtaining measurements indicative of the parameter of interest of the formation. A downhole processor processes the measurements for obtaining BVI and BVM using a cutoff time based on classification of the carbonate. Further processing is done to estimate the permeability of the carbonate.

A method for generating a phase envelope log to characterize a subsurface formation includes drilling the borehole with a drill string, circulating a drilling fluid in the borehole, drawing a fluid sample representing a fluid contained in the subsurface formation, estimating a PVT parameter indicative of an in-situ condition of the subsurface formation from the drawn fluid sample, determining at least two phase envelopes at different depths using the estimated PVT parameter, and creating a phase envelope log formed of a continuous series of phase envelopes using the phase envelopes. A related system includes a drill string, a fluid sampling system, and a processor that estimates a PVT parameter indicative of an in-situ condition of the subsurface formation, determines at least two phase envelopes at different depths using the PVT parameter, and creates the phase envelope log.
摘要:
NMR data are acquired with variable spacing between refocusing pulses, giving data with a variable interecho time TE. Under certain conditions, diffusion effects can be neglected and data acquired with a multiple TE spacing may be used to obtain a T2 distribution with increased resolution and reduced power requirements. In gas reservoirs, the maximum TE may be determined from diffusion considerations using a dual wait time pulse sequence and this maximum TE is used to acquire data with dual TE.

A method for acquiring nuclear magnetic resonance measurements of a medium uses a modified CPMG pulse sequence wherein the refocusing pulses may be optiimized, having a shorter duration than a 180° pulse. Data are acquired in gas reservoirs using two different wait times, both of which are sufficient to polarize the liquid in the reservoir to a known exteny, preferably 100%, while the amount of polarization of the gas in the reservoir is substantially different for the two wait times. Data from the dual wait time NMR pulse sequences give two different apparent porosities of the formation. A third apparent porosity is obtained from density measurements. Combining these three apparent porosities with a temperature measurement and empirical relations between various petrophysical parameters gives the true porosity, the gas density, the gas hydrogen index and the spin-lattice relaxation time of the gas at a single depth. In an alternate embodiment of the invention, apparent porosity measurements made at a plurality of depths within a connected gas reservoir are averaged and, in combination with temperature measurements in the reservoir, the same petrophysical parameters are obtained with the gas properties being constant, thus reducing numerical instability in the solution of the equations relating the petrophysical parameters.
