Research Abstract

Nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR) is a phenomenon that atoms absorb and radiate electromagnetic energy at a frequency corresponding to a static field applied to the object. One of the applications of EMF(Earth Magnetic Field)-NMR is NMR logging tool. This technology is a method to prospect oil reservoir by detecting the NMR signal of 1^H protons in porous oil reservoir in EMF. We have successfully obtained the 1^H NMR spectrum, which has a signal to noise ratio(SNR) of more than 7. Therefore we conclude that we have developed a prototype of SQUID-EMF-NMR system as a basis for NMR logging tool.
