Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus for determining a characteristic of an earth formation surrounding a borehole in which a pulsed nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) tool is received. A static magnetic field is produced in the borehole using at least two spaced-apart magnets in the NMR tool. The static magnetic field has a first region of substantially uniform magnetic intensity at a first location in the borehole, the first location in the borehole having a first temperature. The NMR tool is moved to a second location in the borehole having a second temperature, and a static magnetic field having a second region of substantially uniform magnetic is produced. The at least two spaced-apart magnets are controllably moved relative to each other wherein the first region of substantially uniform magnetic intensity and the second region of substantially uniform magnetic intensity are substantially equal in size and distance from the NMR tool.
