Abstract

Spin echo signals measured with a multifrequency NMR logging tool are analyzed to determine if one or more of the regions of examination associated with each of the frequencies has signal contamination from borehole fluids. A variety of different methods can be used for analysis. Corrected spin echo signals can be obtained and processed to give improved estimates of formation parameters.
