Methods for measuring the porosity of core samples using NMR analysis
A method for determining the porosity of a core sample can include: submerging a core sample in a NMR saturation fluid, wherein the core sample has a permeability of 10 mD or less; exposing the fluid to a vacuum while the core sample is submerged the NMR saturation fluid for a sufficient period of t...

Summary: | A method for determining the porosity of a core sample can include: submerging a core sample in a NMR saturation fluid, wherein the core sample has a permeability of 10 mD or less; exposing the fluid to a vacuum while the core sample is submerged the NMR saturation fluid for a sufficient period of time to saturate the core sample; removing the vacuum while maintaining the core sample submerged the NMR saturation fluid; taking a NMR measurement of fluids in the core sample; and determining a porosity of the core sample based on a correlation between the NMR measurement and a NMR signal to fluid volume calibration. |
