Nuclear Magnetic Resonance

The MR Explorer (MREX) service, the latest-generation magnetic resonance openhole wireline logging tool, delivers the benefits of previous nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) systems while acquiring data more quickly and providing high-quality results in almost any borehole environment. The answers provided by the MREX service reduce uncertainty when evaluating reservoirs and identify hydrocarbon-bearing intervals for maximizing recovery.

The MREX service can make significant contributions during well and formation evaluation, reservoir description, reserve determination, producibility estimation, fluids characterization, and completion design. Learn More

A pioneer in NMR logging, Baker Atlas provides more than a decade of data acquisition and interpretation expertise on every NMR logging job. This experience was leveraged to develop the proprietary technology known as the MR Explorer (MREX) to deliver best-in-class NMR answers. The strengths of previous NMR logging technologies have been combined with new features to improve performance in the downhole environment by increasing acquisition efficiency and enhancing data quality. The MR Explorer service's unique new features include:

• A side-looking antenna and a gradient magnetic field for formation evaluation measurements and fluid analysis in almost any borehole environment regardless of borehole size, borehole deviation, or borehole conductivity
• Multiple-frequency operation for faster logging and multiple, simultaneous NMR experiments in a single logging pass
• New NMR acquisition techniques for improved NMR data accuracy and superior hydrocarbon typing and fluids analysis
• Data for T₁, T₂, and diffusion determination are continuously recorded by all hydrocarbon-typing sequences
• Objective Oriented Acquisitions (OOA) to greatly simplify planning and execution of MREX logging jobs
• Combinability with other Baker Atlas formation evaluation services

Combined, these new features result in better NMR answers and lower total cost for NMR logging operations by reducing the rig time required for NMR logging.
