CPC Code(s): G01V3/32
Abstract: described herein are systems and techniques for improving accuracies of determinations made using a nuclear magnetic resonance (nmr) sensing device when the nrm sensing device collects data in a wellbore. in certain instances, determinations made from nmr measurement data may not correspond to measurements made by other types of sensing equipment. for example, determinations of pore sizes made from evaluating sets of capillary pressure data may not correspond to determinations made from data sensed during an nmr test. since the accuracy of determinations regarding wellbore petrophysical parameters made from data sensed by sensing equipment can affect the efficiency and profitability of a wellbore operation, and since nmr sensing devices are more deployable in a wellbore than other forms of test equipment, systems and techniques of the present disclosure are directed to improving the accuracy of petrophysical parameters determinations made from data sensed by nmr sensing devices.
