Abstract

Certain techniques for Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) whole core logging are described. NMR tests are performed on a standard sample using a NMR radio frequency (rf) coil having a length. A response map of the NMR rf coil is determined. The response map relates multiple relative NMR rf coil positions to multiple relative signal intensities. The NMR tests are performed using the NMR rf coil on a rock sample containing fluid. A length of the rock sample is greater than the NMR rf coil. Fluid content in the sample is determined using results of the NMR tests using the NMR rf coil on the rock sample and using the response map for the NMR rf coil and a mathematical deconvolution to obtain high resolution. The same method can be used to obtain high spatial resolution NMR log measurement in the reservoir.
