In accordance with the present invention, fluid-flow properties of a rock sample based on NMR response of the hydrogen nuclei of interstitial fluids within the pore space of such sample, can be swiftly and accurately achieved using a portable NMR instrument. Inherent instrument inadequacies (DC field inhomogeneity and large phase background jitter) are themselves relied upon to increase the data-throughput efficiency, i.e., the number of NMR responses performed per unit time. Result: Even though the instrument is placed at field sites away from the usual processing center, quick analysis of rock samples as during the drilling of a well, still results. Also, effects of possible echoes during subsequent measurements are prevented by using both the inhomogeneities of the DC field and the essentially random phase spectrum that is inherent in the instrument to average out echoes of prior generated NMR responses.
