摘要:
NMR data are acquired with variable spacing between refocusing pulses, giving data with a variable interecho time TE. Under certain conditions, diffusion effects can be neglected and data acquired with a multiple TE spacing may be used to obtain a T2 distribution with increased resolution and reduced power requirements. In gas reservoirs, the maximum TE may be determined from diffusion considerations using a dual wait time pulse sequence and this maximum TE is used to acquire data with dual TE.

Under certain conditions, diffusion effects can be neglected and data acquired with a multiple TE spacing may be used to obtain a T2 distribution with increased resolution and reduced power requirements. In gas reservoirs, the maximum TE may be determined from diffusion considerations using a dual wait time pulse sequence and this maximum TE is used to acquire data with dual TE. By proper selection of TE, echos can be obtained with significantly reduced ringing.

The quality factor of a NMR-antenna depends upon mud conductivity, formation resistivity and the borehole size. The Q of the antenna is measured. From measurement of one of formation conductivity or borehole size, the other can be determined.
摘要:
NMR spin echo signals, acquired on a MWD logging tool, are susceptible to errors magnetic flux density has a gradient and the magnet on the logging tool is moving relative to the earth. The errors can be corrected by having the excitation pulse cover a smaller or a larger volume than the refocusing pulses. Correction may also be made by selective saturation, or by echo averaging.
摘要:
The present invention provides a novel use of a material having a high internal magnetostrictive damping and/or using material with explicitly low magnetostriction as an antenna core material for NMR and resistivity devices in a borehole. The probe stuctural geometry facilitates the use of material, which has a relatively low magnectic permeability.

摘要:
A slotted NMR antenna cover for improved mechanical ruggedness during transmission and reception of NMR signals in a down hole environment during either MWD or wire line operations. A NMR slotted antenna cover is provided comprising an elongated tubular structure with longitudinal gaps or slots filled with a RF transmissive or non-conductive material. The slots can befilled at the slot ends with soft magnetic material to improve efficiency of the antenna. The slots are radial concave to reduce eddy currents induced by alternating magnetic flux entering and leaving the slots surrounding the antenna. In another embodiment, the antenna cover is RF transmissive on only a portion of the antenna, via slots or transmissive material, so that the antenna cover can be used to allow RF transmission from the antenna in a side looking or beam pattern restricted mode only.

摘要:
The excitation and/or refocusing pulses used in a CPMG sequence have a nonlinear phase and an envelope with no zero crossings and a corresponding frequency spectrum with sidelobes suppressed. As a result of this, peak power requirements are reduced. Pulse shaping is used for reducing the peak power requirements of a NMR logging tool.
