  • Patent number: 10534055
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for determining a non-oil volume of a rock sample comprising: receiving a rock sample; and receiving a non-oil zone in a NMR map using a T1T2 sequence, the non-oil zone being associated to non-oil in the map; Then, determining a first NMR map of the received rock sample using a T1T2 sequence, and determining a volume of non-oil in the received rock sample based on an integral in an integration zone of the firstNMR map. The integration zone of the first NMR map being determined based on the received non-oil zone, and a calibration value.

  • Patent number: 9459370
    Abstract: A nuclear magnetic resonance relaxation dispersion method to determine the wettability and other parameters of a fluid in a porous medium such as in an earth formation is provided. The method includes the steps of measuring the spin-lattice relaxation time T1 of the fluid in the porous medium at varying polarizing magnetic field strengths or nuclear Larmor frequencies; and determining whether the values of T1 at varying Larmor frequencies follow a dispersion curve that is characteristic of the parameter of the fluid in the porous medium to be determined.

  • Patent number: 4845623
    Abstract: A process for displaying engine oil change information for an internal combustion engine equipped with an electronic injection calculator linked to an onboard computer consisting of the calculation of (N) number of weighted kilometers. The reduction of the period (T) pulses by a period (d) at each (N) kilometers to a minimum threshold (T.sub.o) corresponding to (M.N.) weighted kilometers. The storage of (M.N.) weighted kilometers, their subtraction of the stored weighted kilometers from the actual kilometers remaining to be traveled and the display of the actual kilometers remaining to be traveled before oil change.
