In order to deeply study the imbibition mechanism of conglomerate reservoir, the law that fluid flows in different sizes of pores in the process of imbibition was researched by nuclear magnetic resonance. First, the conglomerate core was saturated by the simulated formation water, and then was saturated by polyfluoroethylene oil to form the irreducible water. During the experiment of imbibition, several time points were selected and the conglomerate core was tested by NMR. According to the relaxation time T2, pores were divided into large, middle and small three size ranges. As the imbibition time increases, the available rate of middle and small pores increase faster than large pores. The available rate of middle and small pores both exceed 50%, but the one of large pores is lower than 35%. The difference of mechanism between imbibition and waterflooding is explained by their NMR test results.

For water filled porous materials, the difference between the relaxation time of molecules at the pore surface and the relaxation time of molecules in the bulk fluid can be interpreted by a fast diffusion model. With this model, the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) can be applied to investigate the microstructure of cement pastes. The cement pastes we tested are two series, one is of same water to cement ratio (w/c=0.4) at different curing time (7d, 28d and 90d), the other is of different water to cement ratio (w/c=0.3, 0.4 and0.5, respectively) at the same curing day. Comparing results by NMR method with those by mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP) shows that NMR is a convenient and nondestructive way to probe pore distribution of cement pastes.

The T2 relaxation times recorded by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) logging are measures of the ratio of the internal surface area to volume of the formation pore system. Although standard porosity logs are restricted to estimating the volume, the NMR log partitions the pore space as a spectrum of pore sizes. These logs have great potential to elucidate carbonate sequences, which can have single, double, or triple porosity systems and whose pores have a wide variety of sizes and shapes. Continuous coring and NMR logging was made of the Cambro-Ordovician Arbuckle saline aquifer in a proposed CO2 injection well in southern Kansas. The large data set gave a rare opportunity to compare the core textural descriptions to NMR T2 relaxation time signatures over an extensive interval. Geochemical logs provided useful elemental information to assess the potential role of paramagnetic components that affect surface relaxivity. Principal component analysis of the T2 relaxation time subdivided the spectrum into five distinctive pore-size classes. When the T2 distribution was allocated between grainstones, packstones, and mudstones, the interparticle porosity component of the spectrum takes a bimodal form that marks a distinction between grain-supported and mud-supported texture. This discrimination was also reflected by the computed gamma-ray log, which recorded contributions from potassium and thorium and therefore assessed clay content reflected by fast relaxation times. A megaporosity class was equated with T2 relaxation times summed from 1024 to 2048 ms bins, and the volumetric curve compared favorably with variation over a range of vug sizes observed in the core. The complementary link between grain textures and pore textures was fruitful in the development of geomodels that integrates geologic core observations with petrophysical log measurements.

We have evaluated several published models using induced polarization (IP) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements for the estimation of permeability of hydrocarbon reservoir samples. IP and NMR measurements were made on 30 samples (clean sands and sandstones) from a Persian Gulf hydrocarbon reservoir. We assessed the applicability of a mechanistic IP-permeability model and an empirical IP-permeability model recently proposed. The mechanistic model results in a broader range of permeability estimates than those measured for sand samples, whereas the empirical model tends to overestimate the permeability of the samples that we tested. We also evaluated an NMR permeability prediction model that is based on porosity [Formula: see text] and the mean of the log transverse relaxation time ([Formula: see text]). This model provides reasonable permeability estimations for the clean sandstones that we tested but relies on calibrated parameters. We also examined an IP-NMR permeability model, which is based on the peak of the transverse relaxation time distribution, [Formula: see text] and the formation factor. This model consistently underestimates the permeability of the samples tested. We also evaluated a new model. This model estimates the permeability using the arithmetic mean of log transverse NMR relaxation time ([Formula: see text]) and diffusion coefficient of the pore fluid. Using this model, we improved estimates of permeability for sandstones and sand samples. This permeability model may offer a practical solution for geophysically derived estimates of permeability in the field, although testing on a larger database of clean granular materials is needed.

Abstract The ultraviolet, infrared, nuclear magnetic resonance, and mass spectra of a number of precursors, intermediates, and impurities of 3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine (MDA) synthesis are presented as well as gas-liquid and thin layer chromatographic data. Test results are given on the precursors safrole, isosafrole, and piperonal; the intermediates isosafrole glycol, N-formyl-MDA, and l-(3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl)- 2-nitro-l-propene; the impurities di[l- (3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl) -2-propyl] amine, di[l - (3,4 - methylenedioxyphenyl) -2- propyl] methylamine, and 3,4-methylenedioxyphenyIpropane; and the product MDA. The data are discussed and 2 methods of MDA synthesis are summarized, in which the precursors, intermediates, and impurities are encountered.

Abstract We conducted a comprehensive investigation of the origin of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) lineshape variability of plasma lipids among healthy individuals and those with cancer. The methyl and methylene resonances of lipid in human plasma, whose linewidths have been reported to correlate with the presence of malignancy, are composed of the overlapping resonances of "mobile" protons from the major lipoproteins (very-low-, low-, and high-density lipoproteins). We tested two hypotheses for the origin of the narrower plasma linewidths observed for cancer patients: (a) malignancy-associated differences in the spectral properties (chemical shift, lineshape) of one or more of the lipoproteins, and (b) differences in the fraction of lipoprotein lipid giving rise to detectable NMR signal. Analysis of the concentrations of lipoprotein lipid and of 500 MHz NMR spectra of the lipoprotein constituents in greater than 100 plasma samples failed to provide support for either hypothesis. Although linewidths were found to be significantly narrower for the cancer group, the difference is entirely attributable to differences in the concentrations of the lipoproteins.
