    Abstract:
    In low-field NMR, depth information and radial profile information of downhole formation can be easily acquired with the help of static gradient magnetic field produced by permanent magnets, called downhole NMR imaging. Based on the hypothesis that the formation is homogeneous, average signals detected by centralized or decentralized sensors can provide enough information for petrophysical parameters. In fact, the inhomogeneity of formation may have serious impact on description of the characteristics of formation and oil/gas location which is rarely studied in NMR well-logging. To improve this, we design and implement a new quadrupolar magnet array aimed at achieving azimuthal measurement in this paper. A new quadrupolar magnet array is consisted of four bread-shaped magnets combined with additional small hexangular magnets to produce enough strength and high homogeneity of static field along with circumferential direction at deeper DOI (depth of investigation). Azimuthal measurements are achieved by using coil array combined with quadrupolar magnet array.
