Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Logging While Drilling (NMR-LWD)

NMR T2 distribution measurement is our chosen everyday method for NMR logging while drilling oil and gas wells. This method yields straightforward preparation and execution of the job as well as a normally easy interpretation of the measured data. For instance, gas and light oil discrimination against water is feasible by direct observation of the T2 distribution. A condition for this measurement method is a NMR logging tool that hardly moves while drilling and in addition uses a small static magnetic field gradient and short inter-echo time TE to be motion tolerant. Using data compression techniques, we can transmit by mud pulse telemetry the T2 distribution in real time from the borehole to the surface. This enables the drilling operator to use the NMR data for real-time decisions such as geosteering.
