摘要: A nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) sensor and methods and systems for use are provided. The method comprises disposing a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) sensor into a borehole, the NMR sensor comprising a magnet assembly to create a static magnetic field and a first transversal-dipole antenna having an azimuthally selective response function. The method further comprises, while rotating the NMR sensor, initiating azimuthally selective NMR excitation in at least one sensitivity region at a first frequency using the first transversal-dipole antenna and the magnet assembly, wherein the at least one sensitivity region is determined by the static magnetic field and the RF magnetic field. The method then comprises acquiring one or more azimuthally selective NMR signals at the first frequency using the first transversal-dipole antenna.

摘要: Noise in drilling operation measurements can be eliminated or reduced using machine learning. For example, a system described herein can receive one or more measured signals in a logging-while-drilling process for drilling a wellbore. The system can determine a coupling factor for noise in the one or more measured signals. The system can generate a corrected signal by removing the noise multiplied by the coupling factor from the one or more measured signals. The system can output the corrected signal for use in drilling operations in the wellbore.

摘要: A method includes generating a temperature-corrected nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurement-derived value corresponding to a target temperature using at least one of a dimension-reduction operation or a parameter-correlation operation based on a difference between the target temperature and a sample temperature. The method also includes determining a formation property based on the temperature-corrected NMR measurement-derived value corresponding to the target temperature.

摘要: Various embodiments include a method for generating a pulse for use in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) logging. One such method generates the pulse by adjusting one or more of pulse parameters including a pulse shape, a pulse amplitude, a pulse phase, and/or a pulse frequency. The generated pulse produces a substantially uniform nuclear spin saturation or nuclear spin inversion response from a fluid. A wait time between the pulse transmission and an echo that indicates spin equilibrium has been achieved is substantially equal to a T1 time indicating characteristics of the fluid.

摘要: Various embodiments include a method for determining a viscosity for heavy oil in a formation by obtaining viscosity data and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) relaxation time distribution data for a plurality of oil samples. A correlation is determined between a set of viscosity data for the plurality of oil samples and an NMR relaxation time geometric mean for the plurality of oil samples. An NMR relaxation time geometric mean intrinsic value is determined based on the correlation, apparent hydrogen index, and TE. Electromagnetic energy may then be transmitted into a formation and NMR relaxation time distributions determined for oil in the formation based on secondary electromagnetic field responses associated with the electromagnetic energy. A viscosity of the oil in the formation may then be determined based a correlation between the set of viscosity data and the NMR relaxation time geometric mean intrinsic value of the distribution data.

摘要: Systems, methods, and software for predicting a pore throat size distribution are described. A representative method includes obtaining a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) relaxation-time distribution data set. The method also includes training a radial basis function (RBF) model based on the NMR relaxation-time distribution data set and a measured pore throat size distribution data set. The method also includes obtaining a subsequent NMR relaxation-time distribution data set. The method also includes employing the trained RBF model to predict a pore throat size distribution data set based at least in part on the subsequent NMR relaxation-time distribution data set. The method also includes storing or displaying a predicted pore throat size distribution corresponding to the predicted pore throat size distribution data set. The predicted pore throat size distribution is associated with a rock sample or subsurface formation volume.
