HGI’s new Geophysical Service Offering - NMR

By Shawn Calendine | hydroGEOPHYSICS

At HydroGeophysics Inc., we’re constantly pushing the boundaries of subsurface exploration to offer unique insights and understanding in your projects. We’re excited to introduce our latest advancement: Borehole Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) logging. This cutting-edge service revolutionizes understanding water content and fluid flow within subsurface materials and lithology.

NMR or Borehole Magnetic Resonance (BMR) logging operates on principles similar to an MRI (Medical Resonance Imaging), focusing on the interaction between the earth’s magnetic field and hydrogen nuclei in water. The measured signal helps scientists understand detailed information on subsurface hydrogeological properties, including total porosity, water content, and pore space connectivity. This information is critical for understanding groundwater reserves and availability, understanding contamination fate and transport, and identifying or monitoring geotechnical hazards, to name but a few applications of NMR. It is a sophisticated yet non-destructive method offering quantitative measurements without the need for direct sampling.

NMR logging offers a high-resolution geophysical approach for detailed on-site evaluations directly within boreholes. It’s not just about visualizing the subsurface; it’s about understanding the characteristics and interactions of porosity and water content to fluid flow and permeability. With NMR, you gain a clearer picture, ensuring more informed project decisions.
