Abstract
Abstract The self-diffusional motion of fluid molecules in a porous medium is expected to be different from that in the bulk fluid due to the presence of pore boundaries which restrict the molecules diffusing within the pore space. Thus it is conceivable that the study of restricted diffusion may provide information leading to pore structure characterization. We report the use of pulsed field gradient nuclear magnetic resonance (PFG NMR) techniques to study proton restricted self-diffusion in porous media. Measurements were conducted in model porous media consisting of different sized glass bead packs, as well as porous rocks. Computational analyses were carried out to obtain apparent diffusivities and other characteristics from the experimental results.
