    Abstract: A method to process information from a wellbore tool is disclosed having steps of placing a wellbore nuclear magnetic resonance tool in a wellbore to a scan a geological formation, activating the nuclear magnetic resonance tool to send signals to and receive signals from the geological formation, acquiring the received signals from the geological formation wherein the received signals have an echo shape, storing the echo shape according to at least one of a quadrature phase and a nominal signal phase, computing an echo shape from all of the received signals, determining a presence of a noise from the received signals, defining a noise filter based upon the received signals from the nuclear magnetic resonance tool and using the filter to remove noise from the received signals.

    Abstract: A method of obtaining nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) data from a subterranean formation may include operating a tool in a subterranean formation for generating both NMR data and NMR scaled data based upon NMR measurements of the subterranean formation. The method also includes operating the tool for encoding and transmitting both the NMR data and NMR scaled data, and receiving and decoding, above the subterranean formation, both the NMR data and NMR scaled data from the tool. The method also includes performing error-correction of the received and decoded NMR data based upon the received and decoded NMR scaled data.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a semi-analytic inversion method that computes an approximate, sparse representation of the data in terms of the (a, T1, T2). Methods, in accordance with the present disclosure, compute T2's in a semi-analytic fashion, such as by using simultaneous Hankel representation of the data, use one dimensional convex optimization to compute the amplitudes, a, and finally compute T1 in an analytic fashion by appropriate averaging techniques. The proposed method provides a more efficient way to represent the data when compared to linearized methods, and is computationally less demanding when compared to some existing nonlinear optimization methods.

    Abstract: A method can include controlling radio frequency emission circuitry of a nuclear magnetic resonance unit to emit radio frequency energy according to a first set of parameters that comprises a first wait time for an even number of sequence repeats with positive and negative phases and to emit radio frequency energy according to a second set of parameters that includes a second wait time for a single sequence with a single phase, where the second wait time is greater than the first wait time; and acquiring, via antenna circuitry and analog-to-digital conversion circuitry, nuclear magnetic resonance.
