SCA2003-26: APPLICATION OF NMR DIFFUSION EDITING AS CHLORITE INDICATOR

ABSTRACT We present a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) based study on a series of sandstone cores from a major reservoir in the Norwegian Sea. The cores have varying amounts of chlorite and were prepared in different saturation states. NMR measurements were performed using the standard Carr-Purcell-...
