Abstract
A method for determining a phase-state type and saturation of a fluid by an NMR technology includes putting a core to be measured to an NMR phase-state testing device, injecting a heavy water solution from both ends of a gripper at the same time until the core reaches the formation pressure, and stopping; scanning the core to obtain a two-dimensional NMR map, and determining whether the core contains a gas phase; reducing the temperature of the gripper, and collecting an oil phase volume, a gas phase volume and a water phase volume discharged from the core; purge the pipelines out with nitrogen, collecting a water phase volume and an oil phase volume in the pipelines; performing dry distillation on the core to obtain an oil phase volume and a water phase volume; and obtaining the saturations of various phases according to the fluid volumes of multiple phases in the core.
