A method for acquiring nuclear magnetic resonance measurements of a medium uses a modified CPMG pulse sequence wherein the refocusing pulses may be optiimized, having a shorter duration than a 180° pulse. Data are acquired in gas reservoirs using two different wait times, both of which are sufficient to polarize the liquid in the reservoir to a known exteny, preferably 100%, while the amount of polarization of the gas in the reservoir is substantially different for the two wait times. Data from the dual wait time NMR pulse sequences give two different apparent porosities of the formation. A third apparent porosity is obtained from density measurements. Combining these three apparent porosities with a temperature measurement and empirical relations between various petrophysical parameters gives the true porosity, the gas density, the gas hydrogen index and the spin-lattice relaxation time of the gas at a single depth. In an alternate embodiment of the invention, apparent porosity measurements made at a plurality of depths within a connected gas reservoir are averaged and, in combination with temperature measurements in the reservoir, the same petrophysical parameters are obtained with the gas properties being constant, thus reducing numerical instability in the solution of the equations relating the petrophysical parameters.
