Abstract
A method for NMR measurements on borehole materials, e.g., sidewall cores, is based on performing a standard measurement in substantially homogeneous magnetic fields with a sensitivity volume covering an entire sample and a measurement on a fragment of the sample (local measurement), the fragment having a predetermined volume independent of the irregularities of the sample shape (e.g., irregular shaped edges). The fragment of the sample is selected using a switchable static magnetic field gradient or a localized radio-frequency magnetic field. The homogeneous and the local measurement data are processed jointly to obtain volume normalized NMR relaxation data (in porosity units), the processing also using a calibration sample data. A measurement apparatus with an automated sample transfer can be used to implement the method in order to perform high-throughput NMR relaxation measurements that do not require independent measurement of the sample volume.
