Abstract

The present invention is a method to determine the bound and free fluid index of fluids in porous media by pulsed field gradient (PFG) NMR diffusion measurements. The PFG NMR signal is evaluated using a two-fluid model that describes the self diffusion coefficients for the fluid fractions with low and high translational mobilities.
