Abstract
An apparatus and method for making NMR measurements uses an electromagnet for producing the static magnetic field. When used in well logging applications, the absence of a strong permanent magnet eliminates almost completely the amount of ferromagnetic debris picked up on the logging tool when passed through casing. The absence of debris results in the static magnetic field being substantially in conformance with design. The electromagnet is designed to give a static field of 0.6-6 mT (10-100 times the earth's magnetic field). Free induction decay or spin echo measurements may be made to give low resolution measurements of bulk properties of earth formations. The same coil configuration may be used to estimate body fat measurements of a human body. An alternate embodiment of the invention uses a capacitive discharge through an electromagnet with a time varying magnetic field with the receiver operating at a different frequency from the transmitter.
