Title:
FORMATION-BASED INTERPRETATION OF NMR DATA FOR CARBONATE RESERVOIRS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2004/104560
Kind Code:
A2
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for determining a parameter of interest of a formation composed of carbonate rock. A nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) sensor assembly produces a pulsed RF field designed for obtaining measurements indicative of the parameter of interest of the formation. A downhole processor processes the measurements for obtaining BVI and BVM using a cutoff time based on classification of the carbonate. Further processing is done to estimate the permeability of the carbonate.
