The invention discloses a method for determining surface relaxation rates of pores with different sizes in rock and application of the method. The method comprises the following steps: S1, obtaining two subsamples of a
rock sample, and respectively carrying out high-pressure mercury injection and
nuclear magnetic resonance T2 tests; s2, pressurizing the nuclear magnetic sub-sample to saturate a specified fluid, and measuring a
nuclear magnetic resonance T2 spectrum after saturation of the nuclear magnetic sub-sample; s3, carrying out
centrifugation on the nuclear magnetic subsample in the S2, and measuring a
nuclear magnetic resonance T2 spectrum after
centrifugation; s4, calculating the volume Vi + 2 of the movable liquid and the T2 logarithmic mean value T2lm of the centrifuged movable liquid; s5, determining an aperture interval and a logarithmic
mean diameter Dlm corresponding to
centrifugation by using Vi + 2 and the mercury injection aperture distribution curve; s6, calculating the surface
relaxation rate of the corresponding aperture interval by using the T2lm and the Dlm; and S7, sequentially increasing the centrifugal rotating speeds, repeating the steps S3 to S6, and calculating the surface relaxation rates of the aperture intervals corresponding to different centrifugal rotating speeds. According to the method, the surface relaxation rates of pores with different sizes in the rock can be determined, so that a pore size distribution curve with higher accuracy is obtained.
