摘要： Borehole NMR logging apparatus and methods, and methods for the interpretation thereof. A logging tool is provided which produces a strong, static and homogeneous magnetic field B.sub.0 in a Volume of an adjacent formation on one side of the tool to measure nuclear magnetic resonance characteristics thereof. In the preferred embodiment, the tool has an RF antenna mounted on the outside of the metal body of the tool, directing focussed oscillating magnetic fields B.sub.1 at said Volume to polarize or tip the magnetic moments of hydrogen nuclei of fluids within rock pores. The same antenna can be used to receive signals of proton precession in the Volume of interest immediately after transmission of the RF polarizing field B.sub.1. Extremely rapid damping of the antenna between the transmitting and receiving modes of operation is accomplished by a Q-switch disclosed herein. The invention provides for the direct measurement of NMR decay having transverse relaxation time T.sub.2 behavior, and further provides for the fast repetition of pulsed measurements from within a borehole. An additional magnet array may be mounted offset from the first magnet configuration to prepolarize a formation before it is measured in order to pre-align a larger number of protons than the single magnet configuration could do by itself. Additional features of the invention are disclosed which increase the Signal/Noise ratio of the measured data, and improve the quality and quantity of borehole NMR measurements, per unit of time spent. Disclosed interpretation methods determine fluid flow permeability and longitudinal relaxation time T.sub.1 -type parameters by directly comparing the measured decay signals (such as T.sub.2 and T.sub.2 * type decay) to a representation which responds to both the decay time t.sub.dec and the imposed polarization period prior to such decay, t.sub.pol. The parameters of amplitude and T.sub.1 are determined and combined with certain preferred methods to generate robust values of formation characteristics such as fluid flow permeability. Other related methods are disclosed.

摘要： An apparatus is disclosed for investigating nuclear magnetic resonance properties of earth formations traversed by a borehole, including a logging device adapted for longitudinal movement in the borehole. The device includes a first subsystem for producing a static magnetic field in the formations and a second subsystem for transmitting electromagnetic energy into the formations and for detecting electromagnetic energy from the formations. The second subsystem comprises an antenna assembly which includes an open-ended shell formed of a magnetically permeable material. An open-ended electrically conductive body is disposed within the shell and is spaced therefrom. A medium whose acoustic impedance is substantially different than the acoustic impedance of the shell and the body is disposed between the shell and the body. An electrically conductive probe is disposed in the body, and an electrically insulating magnetically permeable loading material disposed in the body. The shell is formed of a material having a magnetic permeability that is high enough to render the magnetic reluctance of the loading material several times the magnetic reluctance of the shell. The body is formed of a metal having thickness that is at least several skin depths in said metal at the frequency of the electromagnetic energy and is less than the minimum thickness that would support an acoustic resonance mode in its thickness direction at the frequency of the electromagnetic energy. The apparatus provides a shunt path for the static magnetic field in the region of the antenna that would otherwise have a deleterious effect on the loading material of the antenna and on antenna operation. The apparatus also minimizes undesirable ringing of the antenna.

摘要： Superconducting bearings inhibit the excitation of modes in a superconducting force measuring instrument such as a superconducting gravimeter, and effecively damp such modes in the event they are excited. Excitation of modes is inhibited by magnetically and/or physically blocking orbital and rotational motions. Modes which are excited are efficiently damped, preferably by inducing eddy currents in lossy metal parts. These dissipative eddy currents remove energy from the motion, causing the motion to decay exponentially with time. A significant advantage of the bearing design is that the magnetic field of the bearing can be isolated from the main levitation system. This ensures that the bearing interferes minimally with the gravity measurement.

摘要： The present invention discloses a method and apparatus to detect bubbles in a fluid sample to determine if gases are present, wherein an ultrasonic source is used and its properties monitored. Fluctuations in the ultrasonic source's electrical properties indicate the presence of bubbles/gas. Alternatively, the ultrasonic source may be used to cavitate the sample and induce the nucleation of bubbles. In such a system/method, bubbles may be detected by either (1) monitoring the ultrasonic source properties, (2) monitoring the compressibility of the sample, (3) monitoring the sample properties, including harmonics and subharmonics. The method and apparatus disclosed herein may be used in a borehole such as with a sampling means (including either a flowing sample or a stationary sample) or in a surface lab.

摘要： The instruments of a pulsed nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) device are included in a drill collar for evaluating earth formations. The resulting tool makes NMR measurements while the formation is being drilled. Permanent magnets produce a static field in the earth formation.
