Our understanding of hydrocarbon reservoirs continues to improve with the addition of every new measurement. That understanding is poised for a quantum leap forward with the introduction of the latest generation of nuclear magnetic resonance imaging tools. These tools make measurements on hydrogen nuclei present in formation fluids. We look at how this technique permits determination of pore size distribution, lithology-free porosity, free-fluid porosity and an estimation of permeability on a continuous log.
