A form of the invention is directed to a method for determining properties of earth formations surrounding a borehole, including the following steps: (a) providing a logging device that is moveable through the borehole; (b) transmitting electromagnetic energy from the logging device into the formations, and receiving nuclear magnetic resonance spin echoes at the logging device; (c) performing step (b) a plurality of times, with a respective plurality of different transmitting and/or receiving conditions to obtain a plurality of measurements; (d) generating a formation model that includes a plurality of model components for a brine phase and a plurality of model components for a native oil phase; (e) modifying the model components to optimize the model with respect to the measurement signals; and (f) outputting model components of the optimized model. Depending on the circumstances, the step (d) of generating a formation model can include generating a model that further includes an oil base mud filtrate component and/or can include a gas component. In an embodiment of the invention, the step (d) of generating a formation model includes generating a set of model amplitude components that define the transverse relaxation time distribution of the brine phase, and a further set of model amplitude components that define the transverse relaxation time distribution of the native oil, and a further set of model components that define the constituent viscosities of the native oil.
