    摘要: Disclosed herein is a formation evaluation method including estimating a total porosity of an earth formation as a function of bulk density and total nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) porosity of the earth formation. The total porosity of the earth formation as estimated underrepresents bitumen content. A gas filled porosity of the earth formation is estimated as a function of the bulk density and the total NMR porosity. A kerogen volume of the earth formation is estimated as a function of the gas filled porosity and a total organic carbon content of the earth formation. A bitumen filled total porosity is determined as a function of the estimated kerogen volume and the estimated total porosity of the earth formation. A corrected kerogen volume of the earth formation is determined as a function of the estimated kerogen volume and the estimated total porosity of the earth formation.

    摘要: A method for predicting at least one property of a geological formation may include generating mapping function values relating a plurality of reference elemental compositions to corresponding reference properties thereof based upon at least one non-linear mapping function. The method may further include determining a sample elemental composition of at least one sample associated with the geological formation and performing, using a processor, an interpolation to map the sample elemental composition to at least one sample property based upon the mapping function values and the at least one non-linear function.

    摘要: A nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurement system for high pressure and temperature measurements on fluids is disclosed. The system has a sensor assembly that includes a sample holder having a body formed from a non-magnetic metal and defining an interior cavity for receiving a fluid sample, a frame member disposed in the interior cavity of the sample holder, an antenna coil disposed in the interior cavity about the frame member, an inlet that allows the fluid sample to enter the interior cavity, an outlet that allows for the fluid sample to be flushed from the interior cavity, and a magnet assembly having a central bore in which the sample holder is disposed. Adjacent to the sample holder are pulsed field gradient coils for performing diffusion measurements. The system further includes pulse sequencer circuitry that supplies signals to the antenna coil. When the interior cavity of the sample holder is filled with the fluid sample, the antenna coil and the frame member are at least partially submerged in the fluid sample, and the antenna coil obtains NMR measurements of the fluid sample in response to the signals. Related methods and apparatuses are also disclosed herein.

    摘要: The Larmor frequency for an in situ nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) tool is determined and used to acquire NMR data. An NMR tool is provided and placed in situ, for example, in a wellbore. An initial estimate of the Larmor frequency for the in situ NMR tool is made and NMR data are acquired using the in situ NMR tool. A spectral analysis is performed on the NMR data, or optionally, the NMR data are digitized and a discrete Fourier transform (DFT) is performed on the digitized NMR data. The modal frequency of the spectral analysis or DFT is determined, and the Larmor frequency for the in situ NMR tool is determined using the modal frequency. The NMR tool is modified to transmit at the determined Larmor frequency and then used to acquire further NMR data.

    摘要: Disclosed herein is a formation evaluation method including estimating a total porosity of an earth formation as a function of bulk density and total nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) porosity of the earth formation. The total porosity of the earth formation as estimated underrepresents bitumen content. A gas filled porosity of the earth formation is estimated as a function of the bulk density and the total NMR porosity. A kerogen volume of the earth formation is estimated as a function of the gas filled porosity and a total organic carbon content of the earth formation. A bitumen filled total porosity is determined as a function of the estimated kerogen volume and the estimated total porosity of the earth formation. A corrected kerogen volume of the earth formation is determined as a function of the estimated kerogen volume and the estimated total porosity of the earth formation.
