Abstract

When NMR spin echo measurements are obtained with one or more of (i) different echo intervals, (ii) different static field gradients, (iii) different polarization times, or (iv) noise levels, due to fluid diffusivity, the spin echo measurements cannot be simply combined. However, by applying a correction factor, such a combination is possible, giving an improved interpretation of the formation properties.
