Irreducible water saturation is one of the fundamental parameters in characterizing reservoir formations, and determined as the key factor in reserve calculation and fluid type identification. Measurement on whole core must be taken to analyze irreducible water saturation of volcanic rocks as a result of lithological diversity, porous structure complexity and strong heterogeneity. A new testing method for whole core is proposed by combining Nuclear Magnetic Resonance and centrifugal tests. This new method measures irreducible water saturation using T2 spectrum of whole core demarcated by T2 cutoff measured on 25mm or 38mm diameter core samples which drilled from the whole core. The new method solved the size and shape restricts, long test cycles and viscous fingering defects of conventional methods. According to the comparison with conventional method, the results of the new method coincide well on homogeneous rocks, and are more accuracy with fractured samples.

The cutoff value of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) transversal relaxation time [Formula: see text] is vital for pore structure characterization, permeability prediction, and irreducible water saturation calculation. Conventional default values often lead to inaccurate results for rocks with complex pore structure. Based on NMR experiments and multifractal theory, we have developed an effective statistical method to predict [Formula: see text] cutoff values without other petrophysical information. The method is based on multifractal theory to analyze the NMR [Formula: see text] spectrum with the assumption that the [Formula: see text] spectrum is an indicator of pore size distribution. Multifractal parameters, such as multifractal dimension, singularity strength, and mass exponent, are calculated to investigate the multifractal behavior of [Formula: see text] spectrum via NMR experiments and a dyadic scaling-down algorithm. To obtain the optimal [Formula: see text] cutoff value, the rotation speed and time of centrifugation are enlarged increasingly to optimal centrifugal state. A predicating model for [Formula: see text] cutoff value based on multiple linear regressions of multifractal parameters was proposed after studying the influential factors. On the basis of the multifractal analysis of NMR [Formula: see text] spectrum, a reasonable predication model for [Formula: see text] cutoff value was rendered. Upon testing, the predicted results were highly consistent with the experimental results.

Abstract A new method for the separation and identification of ambrein in ambergris using adsorption chromatography and 1H and 13C Fourier transform nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (FT-NMR) is presented. We demonstrated the effectiveness of this method by analyzing an approximately 85-year-old sample of suspected ambergris from the New Bedford Whaling Museum (New Bedford, MA). Results prove that ambrein remains a major constituent of ambergris even after 85 years of storage under ordinary conditions.

A new method for the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) surface relaxivity calibration in hydrated cement samples is proposed. This method relies on a combined analysis of 28-d hydrated tricalcium silicate samples by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) image analysis and 1H-time-domain (TD)-NMR relaxometry. Pore surface and volume data for interhydrate pores are obtained from high resolution SEM images on surfaces obtained by argon broad ion beam sectioning. These data are combined with T2 relaxation times from 1H-TD-NMR to calculate the systems surface relaxivity according to the fast exchange model of relaxation. This new method is compared to an alternative method that employs sequential drying to calibrate the systems surface relaxivity.
