  • Determination of oil and water compositions of oil/water emulsions using low field NMR relaxometry
    Patent number: 6794864
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining the oil and water content of a heavy oil and water emulsion includes a low field NMR spectrometer and means for determining the total amplitude of an NMR spectrum at specified T2 values.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 11, 2001
    Date of Patent: September 21, 2004
    Assignee: University Technologies International Inc.
    Inventors: Konstantin Mirotchnik, Kevin Allsopp, Apostolos Kantzas, Daniel Marentette
  • Quantification of bitumen using NMR
    Patent number: 6630357
    Abstract: A method of determining the composition of a sample including heavy oil or bitumen and water using low-field NMR. The NMR spectrum of the sample is taken at relatively low and high temperatures and the oil or water content is determined from the spectra and differential spectrum.
    Type: Grant
