Abstract
Systems and methods are described herein for investigating a downhole formation using a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) tool. The tool includes multiple detectors spaced along an axis parallel to a length of the wellbore. While the tool is moving through the wellbore, NMR pulse sequences are applied to the formation and resulting NMR signals are detected by the detectors. The data obtained over a period of time by the multiple detectors are inverted together to obtain an indication of a parameter of the formation at multiple locations along the length of the wellbore.
