    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 and system for determining a geometry of a borehole includes forming an nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) caliper with a plurality of coils and coupling the NMR caliper to a borehole assembly. The NMR caliper may be calibrated for porosity and the T2 of the drilling mud, prior to drilling, at the surface. After drilling commences, scans of the borehole may be conducted with each coil of the NMR caliper. Each scan may include propagating RF energy across a range of frequencies with each coil in order to excite a NMR signal at varying depths. Borehole wall distances from the NMR caliper may be determined by reviewing a plurality of T2 distributions from CPMG measurements derived from the scans. In some embodiments, borehole wall distances from the NMR caliper may be determined by reviewing porosity values derived from the scans.

    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 method for retrieving corrected individual measurements from a series of sequentially pairwise-combined measurements. The method includes providing an initial estimate for a first one of the corrected individual measurements, deriving temporary estimates for other ones of the corrected individual measurements by subtracting the initial estimate from the first sequentially pairwise-combined measurements to produce an estimate for a second one of the corrected individual measurements, and repeating the subtraction from each of the next sequentially pairwise-combined measurements until temporary estimates for each of the corrected individual measurements are obtained, and correcting errors in the temporary estimates to generate error-corrected estimates by filtering an alternating error component associated with the initial estimate.

The step of deriving the at least one dynamic parameter may include generating a model that includes a plurality of components for the constituents of the mixture and iteratively modifying the model components to optimize the model with respect to the NMR data. The at least one dynamic parameter includes a parameter selected from the group consisting of a longitudinal relaxation time, a transverse relaxation time, a ratio of longitudinal to transverse relaxation time, and a diffusion rate.
