摘要
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) relaxation time distributions provide information on the abundance and distribution of two immiscible fluids in the pores of fine-grain chalk samples. A model based on relative shifts of the water-relaxation component as a function of saturation results in a wettability index that is strongly correlated with independent dynamic measurements of wettability. Scales of wetting-phase film thickness for NMR and dynamic measurements explain differences in results between the two methods. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Inc.
