%X Based on the simultaneously applied mercury injection capillary pressure (MICP) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) laboratory experimental results for 20 core samples from tight gas sandstone reservoirs of the Sichuan basin, the relationships of the piecewise power function between nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) transverse relaxation T2 time and capillary pressure (Pc) are established. A novel method, which is used to transform NMR reverse cumulative curve as pseudo capillary pressure (Pc) curve is proposed, and the corresponding model is established based on formation classification. By using this model, formation pseudo Pc curves can be consecutively synthesized. The pore throat radius distribution, and pore structure evaluation parameters, such as the average pore throat radius (Rm), the threshold pressure (Pd), the maximum pore throat radius (Rmax) and so on, can also be precisely extracted. After this method is extended to field applications, several tight gas sandstone reservoirs are processed, and the predicted results are compared with core derived results. Good consistency between evaluated results with core derived results illustrates the dependability of the proposed method. Comparing with the previous methods, this presented model is much more theoretical, and the applicability is much improved.
