Abstract

See full text

A hydrocarbon sample is subjected to a chemically selective J-editing nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) pulse sequence. Resulting signals are analyzed in order to identify a coupling frequency present in at least one molecule of the hydrocarbon sample. A J-coupling frequency of approximately 150 Hz is indicative of a component having an internal double bonded carbon atom (i.e., an olefin). The presence of an olefin in a hydrocarbon sample can be indicative of the presence of a synthetic based mud (SBM) in the sample.
