    摘要: A permeability estimation technique for use with spin echo signals that are received from a sample includes summing indications of the amplitudes of the spin echo signals. The results of the summing are used to determine an indication of a permeability of the sample, without using a distribution of relaxation times in the determination. The products of indications of the amplitudes of the spin echo signals may be summed, and the results of the summing may be used to determine an indication of a permeability of the sample, without using a distribution of relaxation times in the determination.

    摘要: A method is disclosed for interpretation of multi-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance data taken on a sample of an earth formation. Specifically, a set of NMR data is acquired for a fluid sample located either in a borehole or in a laboratory environment. From the set of NMR data, a multi-dimensional distribution is calculated using a mathematical inversion that is independent of prior knowledge of fluid sample properties. The multi-dimensional distribution is graphically displayed on a multi-dimensional map. Each fluid instance or artifact visible on the graph is identified as representing a probable existence of a detected fluid. One or more quantitative formation evaluation answers for one or more fluid instances is computed based on the multi-dimensional distribution associated with the respective fluid instance.

    摘要: A method that is usable with an NMR measurement apparatus includes averaging first spin echo trains acquired from different regions of a sample to form a second spin echo train. The first spin echo trains are used to produce a first estimate of a property of the sample, and the first estimate has a first resolution and a first accuracy. The second spin echo train is used to produce a second estimate of the property, and the second estimate has a second resolution that is lower than the first resolution and a second accuracy that is higher than the first accuracy. The first and second estimates are combined to produce a third estimate of the property. The third estimate has a third resolution near the first resolution of the first estimate and a third accuracy near the second accuracy of the second estimate.

    摘要: A technique utilizes the acquisition of data via nuclear magnetic resonance at multiple depths of investigation in a well region. The acquired data is processed to estimate variable fluid mixture densities at different radial depths. The variable fluid mixture densities and a radial response from a density tool, for example, can be used to calculate an effective fluid mixture density and used to interpret density logs. Other logs such as neutron log, induction resistivity log, and dielectric permittivity log can be combined with NMR. For these tools a corresponding effective formation property can be calculated and used to determine other formation characteristics, such as total porosity, total density, dielectric permittivity, electric resistivity, and formation characteristics derivable from these.

    摘要: A method for tuning a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) tool having an operating frequency and equipped with an antenna, is disclosed comprising: (a) transmitting a rf magnetic field to a sample under investigation; (b) receiving an NMR signal from the sample within a detection window; (c) determining mistuning of said antenna relative to said operating frequency; (d) analyzing the received echo signal to determine mistuning of the received signal from the operating frequency. The mistuning of the received signals from the operating frequency may be determined by analyzing any changes in phase of the echo along the echo signal. The antenna tuning process may be automated by measuring calibrated signal amplitudes at more than one frequency and identifying a maximum amplitude. The system tuning may be maintained by repeating (a) through-(d) while operating the tool and implementing a feedback loop.
