Abstract

The present disclosure provides a phase-controlled excitation downhole nuclear magnetic resonance imaging device and method which relate to the technical fields of downhole nuclear magnetic resonance imaging devices and methods, and achieve high-resolution imaging for an underground target by utilizing a plurality of array antenna units and a phase-controlled array technology. The array antenna units are uniformly arranged around an array antenna frame, and each antenna unit is capable of achieving independent transmission and collection. A transmission phase of each antenna unit is controlled by adopting a phase control technology, the positioning excitation of a transmission pulse is achieved according to a co-phase stacking principle, and thus, the imaging resolution is further improved. The present disclosure has the advantages of high resolution and high efficiency and is suitable for the field of underground exploration. The application of this method will provide a more accurate and reliable imaging result for underground exploration and provide an important technical support for resource exploration and development.
