For the last 25 years, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) has been playing a very important role in reservoir
formation evaluations using both downhole and laboratory core measurements. Nowadays we are more comfortable
with information derived from NMR for conventional reservoirs. In the meantime, we are facing challenges
evaluating unconventional reservoirs. There have been many exciting developments in NMR logging,
core and mud logging analyses, data processing, and integration since the last SPWLA NMR topical conference
in 2006. It is time for us to gather again to address practical petrophysical issues and topics using NMR, as well
as updating the recent advances and sharing experiences, including:
• State-of-Art instruments
Review the achievement and the latest development of all types of NMR tools for Wireline, LWD,
core analysis, fluid analysis, and cutting analysis, etc. Discuss the integration of rock physics
modeling with NMR data.
• Rock characterizations and integrated petrophysical applications
Carbonate pore typing, capillary pressure, permeability, grain size distributions; Value-add of
NMR in integrated petrophysics by case studies.
• Hydrocarbon and fluid typing applications
Light hydrocarbons to heavy oil; Invasion profiling; viscosity accuracy, tar-mat identification.
• Unconventional reservoir applications
Uniqueness of NMR in organic shale formations; How can NMR deliver information of porosity,
bitumen, hydrocarbon, bound water, free water, TOC, and organic pores? Are conventional terminologies
applicable to unconventional reservoir?
• Measurement technologies
How can machine parameters affect NMR results? How to compare log and lab measurements;
Considerations of environment effects, i.e. in-situ vs ambient, lab conditions, or restored conditions;
T1 and T2 cutoff determinations; Are the cutoffs still valid or sufficient in unconventional
reservoir formation evaluations?
• Inversion techniques and QC
1D, 2D, 3D, and 4D NMR Inversion methodologies; Inversion artifacts, Effects of tool movement,
internal gradient, restricted diffusions, and signal to noise ratio; Standardizing QC procedures.
• Potential new applications
Wettability characterization and its effect and challenges on NMR response in core and log
measurements; NMR value to geosteering; sourceless porosity.
Each and every petrophysicist or NMR specialist in our community has successful stories, challenges, and
