WETTABILITY ESTIMATION USING MAGNETIC RESONANCE

A method of estimating a wettability characteristic of a rock and fluid system includes acquiring a sample of the rock material, performing a first nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurement of the sample when the sample is in a full water saturation condition, and measuring a first T2 distribution, performing a second NMR measurement of the sample when the sample is in a second partial saturation condition, and measuring a second T2 distribution.
