Abstract: | NMR logging is an effective method for porosity measurement. NMR-derived porosity only comes from the pore fluid and is, in
principle, not affected by rock matrix. However, it is found that the difference between NMR-derived and conventional log-derived
porosities is often between 2 to 6 pu, which is unacceptable, in terrestrial formation in China. In the paper, the theory
of NMR porosity was reviewed. The influence factors on NMR porosity error were analyzed based on NMR core measurements. More
than 30 core samples with a wide range of porosities including sandstone, limestone and artificial ceramic were chosen for
the conventional and NMR porosity measurements. The current NMR data acquisition method was studied based on laboratory NMR
core measurements and found to be not good for terrestrial formation. A new NMR data acquisition method suiting for terrestrial
formation in China was proposed and much improved the accuracy of NMR porosity measurement. It is suggested that the analysis
of core samples from different regions should be carried out before logging in order to obtain accurate NMR porosity. |
