Abstract: A method for predicting formation permeability by measuring diffusional tortuosity in several directions by pulse gradient NMR. The method comprises evaluating an anisotropic diffusion coefficient by pulsed gradient NMR, determining diffusional tortuosity from the restricted diffusion data, supplementing the NMR results with resistivity and sonic logging data, measuring anisotropic tortuosity and porosity by resistivity and sonic data and combining all components in a single fitting model. The 11-coefficient model is trained to recognize the true values of permeability by comparing the real oil permeabilities measured. in a library of oil-carrying rock cores with the NMR, resistivity and sonic correlates The fitting coefficients are extracted by minimizing the discrepancy between the laboratory measured permeabilities and the predicted values combining all rapid logging information components with the agreement-maximizing weights.

Abstract: A method for assessing an optimal acid injection rate in the process of hydrocarbon formation stimulation. The method comprises evaluating an anisotropic diffusion coefficient by pulsed gradient NMR, introduction of a semi-empirical correction based on comparison of the downhole conditions with the library of laboratory experiments where such corrections were measured, extrapolation of the library data to the real downhole conditions. The improved values of the diffusion coefficients are applied in determining wormhole regime conditions that are optimal in terms of acid consumption per a unit of stimulated yield of the hydrocarbon.

Abstract: A method for rapid wettability evaluation during exploratory drilling of a hydrocarbon. The method include pre-saturation of the sample by a brine, measuring the bulk brine's T2 NMR relaxation parameter, expelling the brine by oil in the sample, measuring the oil's bulk and pore T2 NMR relaxation parameter, measuring the brine's non-reducible content and T2 NMR relaxation parameter of water in the presence of dominant oil content, expelling the oil by the brine and measuring the T2 NMR relaxation parameter of the irreducible oil content in the dominant brine. The measurements are combined in the index: I=[(T2WB−T2WIOIRR)/T2WB]−[(T2OB−T2OIWIRR)/T2OB], where WB is water bulk, OB is oil bulk, WIOIRR—injected pore water at the irreducible oil content, OIWIRR—injected pore oil at the irreducible water content.
