Abstract
NMR logging of hydrocarbon formations may be performed with a gradient multi-frequency NMR technique using an increased packing density of the sensitive volumes such that the radiofrequency (RF) pluses for adjacent sensitive volumes interfere. An exemplary method may include applying first and second sequences of RF pulses at first and second frequencies, respectively, the second sequence being applied at a time interval following the first sequence; acquiring the NMR relaxation data from first and second sensitive volumes corresponding to the first and second frequencies, respectively; and selecting the first and second frequencies and the time interval to allow for interference between the first sequence of RF pulses and the NMR relaxation data from the second sensitive volume in order to increase a signal-to-noise ratio and a signal-to-noise ratio per square root of time of the NMR relaxation data.
