NUCLEAR MAGNETIC RESONANCE MEASURING APPARATUS The disclosure invention is directed to a nuclear magnetic resonance measurement apparatus that can be utilized in a logging device which operates generally centrally in a borehole, and has a generally circumferential region of investigation, but which permits usage of relatively powerful permanent magnets, such as rare-earth magnets, that are not permeable to the RF magnetic field. This is achieved by employing side-by-side spaced apart elongated magnets, and an RF current loop in the region between the magnets. In a disclosed embodiment, the magnets are each in the shape of a segment of a cylinder, and the respective axes of elongation of the magnets are parallel. The magnets have respective casings with electrically conductive surfaces, and the RF current loop includes at least a portion of the conductive surfaces of the magnet casings.
