Correction of NMR artifacts due to constant-velocity axial motion and spin-lattice relaxation

摘要

NMR spin echo signals are corrected for axial motion of the borehole logging tool. The correction is applied to an averaged echo train using an average velocity determined from surface measurements over the duration of averaging of the echo trains. An additional correction may be applied to correct for excess polarization or incomplete polarization of nuclear spins due to an insufficient wait time between pulse sequences.
