  • Estimating nuclear magnetic resonance measurement quality
    Patent number: 11091997
    Abstract: A system for drilling a borehole is disclosed. The system may include drill string having a bottom hole assembly a nuclear magnetic resonance tool within the bottom hole assembly, and a surface control system including a nuclear magnetic resonance measurement quality map. The control system may be configured to drill a borehole at a first set of drilling parameters and to receive motion properties from the nuclear magnetic resonance tool and adjust the drilling of the bore hole at a second set of drilling parameters. The surface control system may be further configured to adjust the drilling of the bore hole based on the motion properties from the nuclear magnetic resonance tool and the nuclear magnetic resonance measurement quality map.
