ABSTRACT:
A technique is disclosed for determining the gas-filled porosity and oil-filled porosity in a region of investigation of earth formations surrounding a borehole including the following steps: (a) providing a logging device that is moveable through the borehole; (b) generating, from the logging device, a static magnetic field in the region of investigation of the formations, the static field having a magnetic field gradient that is not constant in the region of investigation; (c) determining the gradient distribution of the static magnetic field in the region of investigation, and determining a first function of the gradient distribution and the diffusion coefficient of oil, and a second function of the gradient distribution and the diffusion coefficient of gas; (d) generating a first sequence of magnetic field pulses in the region of investigation of the formations using a first wait time, and detecting a first sequence of nuclear magnetic resonance spin echoes from the formations; (e) generating a second sequence of magnetic field pulses in the region of investigation of the formations using a second wait time, and detecting a second sequence of nuclear magnetic resonance spin echoes from the formations; (f) producing, from differences of respective echoes of the second and first sequences of spin echoes, an echo difference signal; and (g) determining the gas-filled porosity and oil-filled porosity in the region of investigation of earth formations from: the echo difference signal, a response function which depends on the first function, and a response function which depends on the second function.
