Abstract

A logging while drilling (LWD) and measuring while drilling (MWD) method and device (16) are disclosed for reducing the sensitivity of NMR
measurements to tool (16) motions.
The invention is based on NMR
relaxation measurements determining longitudinal relaxation times T1 instead of standard T2 measurements, and involves saturating a relatively wide sensitive region of the formation (10) and processing NMR echo signals which originate approximately from the center of the sensitive region.
