摘要： An objective oriented NMR logging method selects pulse sequences over a plurality of frequencies from a set of building blocks. The building blocks include trainlet sequences wherein each trainlet comprises an excitation pulse and a plurality of refocusing pulses, the total length of a trainlet being typically less than 10 ms. Another building block is a short CPMG or modified CPMG sequence and yet another building block is a regular CPMG or modified CPMG sequence. The modified CPMG sequences may have refocusing pulses with a tipping angle less than 180° to reduce the power consumption. Based on the logging objective (formation evaluation or FE, FE plus hydrocarbon typing, FE plus gas evaluation) the building blocks are combined at a plurality of frequencies with different wait times and TEs.

摘要： Wireline NMR well logging measurements suffer from disadvantages of poor vertical resolution, logging speeds less than 20 ft/min, and power consumption in excess of 200 W. In spite of these disadvantages, NMR well logging is used because it is capable of providing estimates for a number of petrophysical parameters that are difficult to obtain from other wireline data. These include estimates of the bulk volume irreducible (BVI) of fluids in the formation. The present invention targets BVI and clay bound water (CBW) measurements. Logging speeds of up to 60 ft/min are attainable with little or no loss of resolution. In one preferred embodiment, the tool has four sensors circumferentially distributed around the logging tool and in contact with the borehole wall. A horseshoe like magnet is used to generate the static magnetic field. The magnet poles are designed such that the magnetic field is uniform perpendicular tool motion, as well as provide a sufficiently large extent of the static field to provide polarization for bound water in rock formations. The RF portion of the sensor is comprised of at least one coil configured for transmission of an RF magnetic field into rock formations and at least two coils configured to separately receive the NMR signal from the formation. In another embodiment a coil is wound around the pole pieces or the iron yoke for the purpose of field shifting to enable acquisition of phase-alternated measurements.

摘要： A method of reducing bias error in nuclear magneic resonance (NMR) spin-echo signals. The method includes filtering the signals using a filter having a bandwidth inversely related to the length of time from the initiation of the measurement of the NMR signals. In a preferred embodiment, the NMR spin-echo signal measurements are filtered using a moving average filter having an averaging span which increases with respect to the time elapsed from initiation of the spin-echo measurement sequence.

摘要： An apparatus for performing a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurement in a borehole penetrating a subsurface formation includes an NMR tool having an outside diameter that is less than an inside diameter of a drill tubular disposed in the borehole, the drill tubular having an opening at the distal end of the drill tubular leading into the borehole, and a retaining device configured to allow at least a section of the NMR tool to protrude through the opening of the drill tubular and prevent an unrestrained release of the NMR tool through the opening. The apparatus also includes a transmitter antenna and a receiver antenna coupled to the NMR tool, wherein the transmitter antenna and/or the receiver antenna are extendable from the NMR tool.
