Objective oriented methods for NMR log acquisitions for estimating earth formation and fluid properties

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.
