    摘要: Formation testing systems and methods may inject fluids into a formation to initiate fractures and facilitate measurements of various formation properties. In accordance with certain disclosed embodiments, the injection tools are further provided with nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) sensors to monitor the injected fluids and provide measurements of near-borehole fracture orientations and volumes. Contrast agents and/or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques may be employed. The fluid injection may occur via an extendible isolation pad, via a fracturing jet, or via an injection port in an isolated region of the borehole. The systems may employ pressure monitoring in conjunction with the NMR sensors to further enhance estimates of formation and fracture properties.

    摘要: The grain size distribution of a pore-scale geometric model of a clastic earth formation are adjusted so that the NMR relaxation time distribution output of the model matches a measured NMR distribution, and an acoustic velocity output of the model matches a measured acoustic velocity (compressional and/or shear). Fluid drainage and imbibing can be simulated. Additional properties of the earth formation are predicted using the pore-scale model. The additional properties may be based on additional measurements of properties of a fluid in the formation.

    摘要: Many reservoirs of interest include heavy oil. In such reservoirs, partly at normal temperatures, many instruments commonly used for formation evaluation may not be able to distinguish between heavy oil and bound water in the formation. Passive or active heating is used to elevate the temperature of the fluids in the formation. At elevated temperatures, distinguishing between heavy oil and bound water is easier. Of particular interest is the increase in the resolvability of the transverse relaxation time T2 of NMR spin echo measurements. Additionally, the dielectric constant and the loss tangents of water and heavy oil show different temperature and frequency dependence.
