Abstract
A nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) sensor and methods and systems for use are provided. The method comprises disposing a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) sensor into a borehole, the NMR sensor comprising a magnet assembly to create a static magnetic field and a first transversal-dipole antenna having an azimuthally selective response function. The method further comprises, while rotating the NMR sensor, initiating azimuthally selective NMR excitation in at least one sensitivity region at a first frequency using the first transversal-dipole antenna and the magnet assembly, wherein the at least one sensitivity region is determined by the static magnetic field and the RF magnetic field. The method then comprises acquiring one or more azimuthally selective NMR signals at the first frequency using the first transversal-dipole antenna.
