    Abstract: Methods are provided for identifying one or more transition characteristics in a hydrocarbon fluid such as asphaltene onset pressure (AOP), bubble point or dew point. A transition characteristic is determined by subjecting the fluid to different pressures or temperatures, conducting NMR tests at the different pressures or temperatures to obtain signals, processing the signals to obtain values of a function of an NMR parameter as a function of pressure or temperature, and analyzing the values to find a discontinuity that identifies the transition characteristic. In embodiments, the NMR parameters may include at least one of a relaxation parameter such as T2 or a T1-T2 ratio, a diffusion parameter and an initial magnetization parameter. In embodiments, dual linear fitting, Bayesian change point detection algorithms, and instantaneous slope analysis may be utilized to analyze the values in order to find a discontinuity.

    Abstract: Adsorbed gas in a formation may be estimated. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) data for a subsurface geological formation is obtained, and at least a portion of the NMR data is corrected to produce corrected NMR data. A NMR-based estimate of formation porosity is determined using the corrected NMR data. Dielectric permittivity data for the subsurface geological formation is obtained, and a dielectric permittivity-based estimate of the formation water-filled porosity is determined using the dielectric permittivity data. A gas volume is determined using the determined NMR-based estimate of the formation porosity and the determined dielectric permittivity-based estimate of the formation water-filled porosity. The gas volume may be determined by subtracting the determined dielectric permittivity-based estimate of the formation water-filled porosity from the determined NMR-based estimate of the formation porosity. The gas volume per unit volume of the formation may be determined using an equation of state.

    Abstract: A methods are provided for investigating a sample containing hydrocarbons by subjecting the sample to a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) sequence using NMR equipment, using the NMR equipment to detect signals from the sample in response to the NMR sequence, analyzing the signals to extract a distribution of relaxation times (or diffusions), and computing a value for a parameter of the sample as a function of at least one of the relaxation times (or diffusions), wherein the computing utilizes a correction factor that modifies the value for the parameter as a function of relaxation time for at least short relaxation times (or as a function of diffusion for at least large diffusion coefficients).

    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 may also include 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 may also include performing error-correction of the received and decoded NMR data based upon the received and decoded NMR scaled data.
