摘要:
A method for obtaining a parameter of interest relating to a region investigated by a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) tool and a non-NMR tool is disclosed. Data arising from the NMR tool is acquired, and data arising from the non-NMR tool is acquired. A solution equation is utilized for NMR signal intensity, the solution equation being functionally related to the NMR data, and a solution constraint is utilized based at least partially on the non-NMR data. The solution equation is solved for the signal intensity subject to the solution constraint, wherein the solving provides information relating to the parameter of interest.

Data from a string of multiple formation evaluation data sensor are evaluated by an expert system. Based on the analysis, the logging speed is increased if all the sensors justify it, and is reduced if any of the sensors require a reduced logging speed. Alternatively, the sensitive volume of a NMR sensor is altered based on a determination of a fraction of the sensitive volume that includes a borehole fluid.

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.
