Abstract

A magnetic resonance logging instrument is provided. The magnetic resonance logging instrument (10) may comprise a superconducting magnet system (12) operable to produce a static magnetic field and disposed within a housing (19). An antenna system (14) operable to produce and sense a radio frequency magnetic field may be disposed, in part, within the housing (19) and coupled to the superconducting magnet system (12). A cryogenic cooling system (16) operable to cool the superconducting magnet system (12) may also be disposed within the housing (19). A power system (18) operable to supply power to the superconducting magnet system (12), the antenna system(14), and the cryogenic cooling system(16) may also be provided.
