The gaseous part of the reservoir fluids are both hydrocarbon gases (i.e. natural gas mostly including methane and butane) and non-hydrocarbon gases such as hydrogen sulfide and mercaptan containing components. [3] Depending on the pressure and temperature of the reservoir, the amount of dissolved in the liquid phase and free gases will be ...
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy uses the intrinsic magnetic moment that arises from the spin angular momentum of a spin-active nucleus. [1] If the element of interest has a nuclear spin that is not 0, [1] the nucleus may exist in different spin angular momentum states, where the energy of these states can be affected by an external magnetic field.
NMR is extensively used in medicine in the form of magnetic resonance imaging. NMR is widely used in organic chemistry and industrially mainly for analysis of chemicals. The technique is also used to measure the ratio between water and fat in foods, monitor the flow of corrosive fluids in pipes, or to study molecular structures such as ...
NMR logging exploits the large magnetic moment of hydrogen, which is abundant in rocks in the form of water. The NMR signal amplitude is proportional to the quantity of hydrogen nuclei present in a formation and can be calibrated to give a value for porosity that is free from lithology effects.
These two fluids are stored only in pore space in the rock matrix. Components of a petrophysical model of a water-wet reservoir rock. Due to the complex microstructure, for a water-wet rock, the following terms comprised a clastic reservoir formation: V ma = volume of matrix grains. V dcl = volme of dry clay. V cbw = volume of clay bound water.
It is this non-zero spin that enables nuclei to interact with external magnetic fields and show signals in NMR. Atoms with an odd sum of protons and neutrons exhibit half-integer values for the nuclear spin quantum number (I = 1/2, 3/2, 5/2, and so on). These atoms are NMR-active because they possess non-zero nuclear spin.
Solid-state 900 MHz (21.1 T [1]) NMR spectrometer at the Canadian National Ultrahigh-field NMR Facility for Solids. Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (ssNMR) is a spectroscopy technique used to characterize atomic-level structure and dynamics in solid materials. ssNMR spectra are broader due to nuclear spin interactions which can be categorized as dipolar coupling, chemical shielding ...
Reservoir simulation is an area of reservoir engineering in which computer models are used to predict the flow of fluids (typically, oil, water, and gas) through porous media. The creation of models of oil fields and the implementation of calculations of field development on their basis is one of the main areas of activity of engineers and oil ...
