Focused Magnetic Resonance Tool


Provides accurate porosity, fluid saturation, and pore-size distribution at multiple depths of investigation


Applications

  • Lithology-independent porosity
  • Fluid identification and saturation
  • Hydrocarbon characterization and viscosity
  • Moveable-hydrocarbon identification in laminated, low-contrast, complex-lithology, and unconventional reservoirs
  • Permeability index
  • Capillary pressure


Features and Benefits

  • Minimizes borehole effects while maximizing formation response with an eccentered sidewall-focused design and high-efficiency antenna
  • Delivers precise data in high-salinity mud (0.02 ohm-m) and large boreholes without a mud excluder
  • Enables radial saturation profiling with multifrequency operation
  • Maximizes multidimensional-inversion response and accuracy by incorporating unique acquisition sequences that provide enhanced fluid identification and characterization
  • Offers a unique pre-job planning process that selects the acquisition sequence to client requirements and the wellbore environment
  • Provides stationary measurements via comprehensive activation sequences
  • Yields spectra for T1 and T2 at the wellsite, and provides single-pass data for advanced post-processing, including 2D inversion for T1, T2, and diffusion constant
  • Offers variable logging speeds depending on the selected activation sequence


Tool Description

The focused magnetic resonance (FMR) tool provides accurate porosity, fluid saturations in the flushed zone, and pore-size distribution* at multiple depths of investigation. Based on the same principles used in medical magnetic resonance imaging technology (MRI), the FMR offers unique acqui­sition sequences that both quantify and characterize rock and fluid types. 

Post processing of FMR tool data provides critical rock and fluid information, including porosity, pore-size distribution, permeability, viscosity, capillary pressure, hydrocarbon type, and saturation

* For water wetting phase
