Foreword
Halliburton Energy Services is pleased to contribute this important technical volume on
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Logging to the petroleum industry. The NMR logging represents a new revolution in formation evaluation with wireline logging, and this book gives a
comprehensive treatment of this new technology. Since its acquisition of NUMAR in 1997,
Halliburton has focused on advancing NMR techniques, and on integrating conventional log
data with the NMR interpretation methodology to further enhance the NMR applications. To
this end, a new NMR tool has been introduced, new data processing techniques have been
developed, and new data interpretation packages (such as our real-time NMR answer
product) have been made available to the industry. Besides explaining basic NMR principles
and applications, this book provides an understanding of these latest achievements in
NMR logging.
This book was developed by three of our finest NMR experts in Halliburton and was reviewed by many recognized experts from our organization, from clients organizations, and
from other institutions. I am particularly grateful for the dedication of the authors, Mr.
George R. Coates, Director of Reservoir Applications at the Halliburton Houston Technology
Center, Dr. Lizhi Xiao, Senior Research Scientist and Project Manager for this book, Dr.
Manfred G. Prammer, President of NUMAR, and to the editors, Dr. Richard F. Sigal and Mr.
Stephen J. Bollich.
As the largest oilfield service company in the world, Halliburton is committed to providing
services of the highest quality and best value, not only through field delivery but also through
an understanding of underlying technology. This book is an example of this commitment,
and I trust that you will find it useful in learning how NMR services can be of benefit in
your applications.

Preface
Well logging, the economic method of choice for evaluating drilled formations, has progressively improved its determination of porosity and fractional fluid saturation, but could not
provide a systematic estimate of permeability. This shortcoming was why Nuclear Magnetic
Resonance captured the interest of the petroleum industry when researchers published results
showing a good permeability correlation in the 1960s.
Unfortunately this industry interest was left waiting for nearly 30 years on a reliable
downhole measurement of NMR relaxation. In 1992, when NUMAR introduced its MRIL
logging service this wait was over; and it was soon demonstrated that the long hoped for
permeability determination could be systematically provided, especially in shaly
sand formations.
However, permeability was not the only petrophysical benefit provided by this new pulseecho NMR log. Many other petrophysical parameters mineral-independent total porosity;
water, gas, and oil saturation independent of other logs; oil viscosity all have been found
achievable. Several other parameters appear within reach, thus ensuring that this new uniform
gradient NMR logging measurement will prove to be the richest single source of formation
petrophysics yet devised by the well logging industry.
This book has been prepared as a means of sharing these very exciting developments and to
support those of you who are interested in formation evaluation technology.

Acknowledgments
In addition to our appreciation for the contributions of the editors and editorial review board,
we wish to acknowledge and thank those who have helped so much with this book:
Jennifer Wood reprocessed most of the MRIL data for the examples in the book. Karen J.
Campbell prepared many of the plots and figures. Sandra Moynihan and Communication
Services coordinated the final product process. Jorge Velasco, Ramsin Y. Eyvazzadeh,
Fernando Salazar, Greg Strasser, and Jim Witkowsky provided most of the NMR logging data
and support. Charley Siess, MRIL Product Manager, provided encouragement and support.
Peter O'Shea, Tim Epresi, and Halliburton Resevoir Applications colleagues, provided help
and support.
Many thanks to the oil companies for release of their data for this publication. Finally, thanks
to Metamor Documentation Solutions, Duncan, Oklahoma, for their role in preparing the
book for publication.
