Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Petrophysics

Nuclear magnetic resonance has become a key formation evaluation tool, offering lithology-independent porosity and helping in difficult settings such as low-resistivity pay and carbonates. The course explains how the measurement works, how to plan acquisition and judge data quality, and how to integrate NMR results with core and conventional logs for rock typing and interpretation.
