  • Method and apparatus for NMR measurement of magnetic materials
    Patent number: 6894493
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for determining the presence of magnetic materials in a media, such as an earth formation. More specifically, the method of the present invention correlates a diffusion-relaxation calibration function representative of magnetic materials with a 2-D function developed using diffusion-editing to determine the presence and relative content of magnetic materials in a media.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 9, 2003
    Date of Patent: May 17, 2005
    Assignee: Schlumberger Technology Corporation
    Inventors: Martin D. Hürlimann, Abigail Matteson, Jermane Edward Massey, David F. Allen

  • Method for quantitative analysis of earth samples
    Patent number: 5741707
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for analyzing a sample to determine its mineral composition. The invention combines X-ray diffraction with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy to provide a complete spectrum including molecular vibrations, probed by FTIR scans and lattice spacing measured by X-ray diffraction in a single representation. This FX spectrum provides a more complete and accurate mineralogy than either of the techniques alone. In addition, new techniques for independent X-ray diffraction analysis and FTIR analysis are described.
