Nmr flow measurement while drilling

Abstract

A method for measuring in-situ formation fluid flow in which an NMR logging sub-drilling tool is placed in a borehole, a modified saturation recovery pulse or flow angiograph pulse is used to mark spin in the formation, and at least two measurements are made by the labeled spins. as they propagate toward the borehole in the underbalanced environment, allowing a determination of fluid velocity from which permeability can be determined. Techniques for performing the method have been shown in both an overbalanced and underbalanced environment.
