Enhancing measurement precision

as combinability with other tools. acquisition sequence called the
Enhanced Precision Mode (EPM),
which improves the precision of the
data associated with the smallest pores
and the heaviest crudes.
In this mode, one long-wait-time
pulse sequence is followed by many
stacked shortwait-time pulse sequences
to derive a precise T2 distribution.
The stacked sequences improve the
precision of the bound-fluid volume
This log example demonstrates the improved repeatability of
the EPM mode using four logging passes in a heavy oil reservoir.
Two passes are recorded using the standard CMR-Plus acquisition
sequence, and two are recorded using the EPM mode. Logging
in the EPM mode is particularly important when evaluating very
silty reservoirs with small pores or heavy crudes.
