Definitions

  • the present invention relates to nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) borehole measurements and more particularly to separation of signals from different fluids using user- adjusted measurement parameters.
  • NMR nuclear magnetic resonance
  • NMR nuclear magnetic resonance
  • Various methods exist for performing measurements of petrophysical parameters in a geologic formation Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) logging, which is the focus of this invention, is among the best methods that have been developed for a rapid determination of such parameters, which include formation porosity, composition of the formation fluid, the quantity of movable fluid, permeability among others. At least in part this is due to the fact that NMR measurements are environmentally safe and are unaffected by variations in the matrix mineralogy.
  • NMR logging is based on the observation that when an assembly of magnetic moments, such as those of hydrogen nuclei, are exposed to a static magnetic field they tend to align along the direction of the magnetic field, resulting in bulk magnetization.
  • the rate at which equilibrium is established in such bulk magnetization upon provision of a static magnetic field is characterized by the parameter T lf known as the spin-lattice relaxation time.
  • T 2 spin-spin relaxation time
  • T 2 also known as transverse relaxation time
  • Both relaxation times provide information about the formation porosity, the composition and quantity of the formation fluid, and others.
  • diffusion refers to the motion of atoms in a gaseous or liquid state due to their thermal energy. Self-diffusion is inversely related to the viscosity of the fluid, which is a parameter of considerable importance in borehole surveys. In a uniform magnetic field, diffusion has little effect on the decay rate of the measured NMR echoes. In a gradient magnetic field, however, diffusion causes atoms to move from their original positions to new ones, which moves also cause these atoms to acquire different phase shifts compared to atoms that did not move. This contributes to a faster rate of relaxation.
  • NMR measurements of these and other parameters of the geologic formation can be done using, for example, the centralized MRIL ® tool made by NUMAR, a Halliburton company, and the sidewall CMR tool made by Schlumberger .
  • the MRIL ® tool is described, for example, in U.S. Pat. 4,710,713 to Taicher et al . and in various other publications including:
  • T 1 contrast 5 is due to the fact that light hydrocarbons have long T x times, roughly 1 to 3 seconds , whereas T x values longer than 1 second are unusual for water-wet rocks.
  • typical T x ' s are much shorter 0 than 1 sec, due to the typical pore sizes encountered in sedimentary rocks, providing an even better contrast.
  • the short wait time T ws is chosen large enough to allow full recovery of the brine signal, i.e., T HS > 3 max (T 1/Water )
  • T WL is selected such that T WL > T- L of the light hydrocarbon, usually assumed to be gas.
  • the differential spectrum is formed by 0 subtracting the T 2 distribution measured at T ws from the one measured at T WL . Because T x recovery of the water signal is essentially complete at both wait times, this signal is eliminated following the substraction, and the differential spectrum is therefore due only to a hydrocarbon signal. 5 While the DSM method has been applied successfully for the detection of gas and the separation of light hydrocarbons, there are several problems associated with it that have not been addressed adequately in the past .
  • DSM requires a logging pass associated with 0 relatively long wait times (T H approximately 10 sec) .
  • DSM-based logging is by necessity relatively slow.
  • the required T ⁇ contrast may disappear in wells drilled with water-based mud, even if the reservoir contains 5 light hydrocarbons. This can happen because water from the mud invades the big pores first, pushing out the oil and thus adding longer T 2 ' s to the measurement spectrum.
  • DSM or standard NMR time domain analysis (TDA) methods have limited use either because there is no separation in the 0 ⁇ 2 domain, or because the two phases are too close and can not be picked robustly.
  • the present invention is based on forcing diffusion as 0 the dominant relaxation mechanism for the brine phase in NMR measurements of a geologic formation.
  • certain measurement parameters are changed as to enhance the role of diffusion relaxation in the brine phase.
  • the enhanced diffusion relaxation in turn establishes an upper limit for the T, 5 distribution of the brine phase, which limit can be calculated. Once this upper limit is found, any phase having a longer T 2 can be identified unambiguously as not being brine, i . e . , as a hydrocarbon.
  • the measurement parameters which are varied in ° accordance with the present invention to establish an upper limit in the T 2 distribution of the brine phase are the interecho time T E and the magnetic field gradient G of the tool.
