Methods and apparatuses for echo processing of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) data

A nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) system includes a transmitter of an NMR tool to output a magnetic field pulse into a zone of interest, a receiver of the NMR tool to output an NMR echo data set produced from an interaction of the magnetic field pulse and the zone of interest, and an NMR echo processing module including a filter matched to a response of the NMR tool to output a filtered NMR echo data set from the NMR echo data set, wherein the filter is matched to an echo shape of the NMR echo data, is matched to an average of a selected signal spectra of the NMR echo data set, or dynamically changes in response to a measurement.
