Systems and method for nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) well logging use an inversion pulse sequence with a Carr-Purcell-Meiboom-Gill (CPMG) pulse sequence to improve spin magnetization calculations. Improved Bloch equation-based calculations consider conditions where a longitudinal relaxation time and a transverse relaxation time of the hydrogen nuclei (e.g., of a subterranean hydrocarbon pool and/or water) are within an order of magnitude of pulse durations for the inversion pulse sequence and the CPMG pulse sequence. Accordingly, an NMR response to the inversion pulse sequence and the CPMG pulse can be detected and used to calculate one or more spin magnetization values with higher accuracy amplitudes. Reservoir characteristics are determined based on the one or more spin magnetization values. As such, improved well operations (e.g., selecting a drilling site, determining a drilling depth, and the like) can be performed.

A system for analysis and display of hydrocarbon play information according to some aspects determines a probability of source rock occurrence according to source rock age based on a proven play concept. The system can also determine a relative probability of migration for hydrocarbons from a source rock of a proposed petroleum play concept to a reservoir. A relative probability of wellbore success for the proposed play concept can be determined at least in part based on these probabilities. The system can display the relative probability of wellbore success for the proposed play concept, either alone as part of a displayed inventory of proposed hydrocarbon play concepts. The system can produce accurate results that facilitate rapid play concept investigations for hydrocarbon exploration.
