摘要:
A method and system for determining a geometry of a borehole includes forming an nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) caliper with a plurality of coils and coupling the NMR caliper to a borehole assembly. The NMR caliper may be calibrated for porosity and the T2 of the drilling mud, prior to drilling, at the surface. After drilling commences, scans of the borehole may be conducted with each coil of the NMR caliper. Each scan may include propagating RF energy across a range of frequencies with each coil in order to excite a NMR signal at varying depths. Borehole wall distances from the NMR caliper may be determined by reviewing a plurality of T2 distributions from CPMG measurements derived from the scans. In some embodiments, borehole wall distances from the NMR caliper may be determined by reviewing porosity values derived from the scans.
摘要:
Methods and systems are provided that enable logging while drilling NMR measurements to be made with a tool having magnets with positions adjustable or movable relative to each other. Such movement can affect the depth of investigation of the NMR tool. A variety of moving assemblies can be used to effectuate the movement, which can be performed either at the surface or downhole. The tool also can include a magnetically permeable member to control the magnetic field gradient.

Methods and systems are provided that enable logging while drilling NMR measurements to be made with magnets placed outside of the drill collar and magnetically permeable members to control the magnetic field gradient. A set of magnets can be disposed on and/or embedded on a drill collar, with an antenna disposed axially therebetween. Alternatively, a set of magnets and an antenna disposed therebetween can be disposed on a sleeve that is slid onto a recess in a drill collar. Additionally, a permeable member can be axially positioned between the set of magnets for affecting the depth of investigation.
