NMR Wireline Technology and it's Applications
Sandeep Ramakrishna, HalliburtonABSTRACT: NMR has proved to be a very useful technique in Formation Evaluation. Over the years, with the advent of newer technology and advances in downhole sensor instrumentation, there has been a widespread utilization of commercial NMR measurements. NMR is a fluids only measurement and gives a mineralogy independent porosity.
The industry’s current generation of sensors allows simultaneous T1 and T2 data acquisition in a single logging pass. Micro-porosity, Capillary bound water, Free fluid index, effective porosity, and total NMR porosity can be computed from both T1 and T2 measurements. The simultaneous acquisition and interpretation of this data has improved fluid typing applications using NMR logs. As NMR measurements are acquired with inches of the wellbore, it’s normally considered to be a flushed zone measurement and lends itself to a residual hydrocarbon measurement. In this talk I will discuss the various measurements and also describe T1 and T2 relating to NMR physics. An overview of NMR based applications and methodologies would be discussed with value added case histories.About the speaker --- Sandeep Ramakrishna is currently working with Halliburton as a Petrophysicist at Houston. He has been involved with development of NMR applications in unconventional reservoirs. His expertise includes reservoir characterization, formation evaluation, NMR and Acoustic logging. He received his MS in Petroleum Engineering from the Univ. of Tulsa, Oklahoma in 2002. Previously he has worked for a service company in the Middle-east and for a small Independent Oil company in Tulsa. He is a member of SPE, SPWLA and AAPG.
