Incorporating internal gradient and restricted diffusion effects in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance log interpretation

Abstract

It is shown that internal gradient combined with the restricted diffusion effect can significantly influence the D-T₂ cross plots, which are widely used for fluid typing in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) well-logging applications. By using models that capture the most important features of the internal gradient in the sedimentary rocks, such effects can be accounted for in the D-T₂ inversion process, making fluid typing more accurate.
