An NMR apparatus includes permanent magnets oppositely polarized in the axial direction and suitably arranged along the axis of the apparatus to produce a nearly radial static magnetic field in a toroidal examination region within the rock formation surrounding the wellbore. A first coil is wound around a cylindrical annulus core coaxial with the magnets, the core including high magnetic permeability material. The first coil produces pulsed RF magnetic fields oriented parallel to the axis of the apparatus and thus perpendicular to the static magnetic field in the toroidal examination region. This reorients certain nuclear spins and the bulk magnetization of the formation within the examination region resulting from them. The first coil picks up on component of the spin-echo signals of the precessing nucleii. A second coil toroidally wound around the same cylindrical annulus core in the form of a torus with windings in planes parallel to the axis of the apparatus detects a second component of the spin-echo signals. The apparatus also includes a third coil spaced apart from the first coil and having a geometry similar to that of the second coil. An electrically conducting collar shields the third coil from the magnetic fields produced elsewhere in the apparatus. A processor combines the signals from the three coils to give spin-echo signals with improved signal-to- noise ratio.
