Abstract
In analysis of transverse relaxation time (T 2) curves in a Carr-Purcell-Meiboom-Gill (CPMG) experiment in a multicomponent system originating from measurements of oil and water in rock cores, where internal magnetic field gradients broaden the line widths significantly, there is very little direct information to be extracted of the different components contributing to the totalT 2 relaxation time curve. From the study of rock cores saturated with different amounts of crude oil and water, we show that with an optimised experimental setup it is possible to extract information from the nuclear magnetic resonance response that is not resolved by any other methods. This setup combines pulsed field gradient methods with the CPMG experiment utilizing data from both rock cores and bulk oil and water. Then it becomes feasible to separate the signals from oil and water where the two-dimensional inverse Laplace transform ordinarily seems to fail.
