Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) tools, logging systems, and methods for measuring NMR properties of earth formations in a region of interest are provided. The NMR tool includes an antenna assembly, a magnet assembly, a compensating assembly, and a motion sensor. The antenna assembly is operable to generate a radio-frequency magnetic field and the magnet assembly is operable to generate a static magnetic field. The motion sensor is operable to generate readings for lateral motion of the antenna and magnet assemblies. The compensating assembly contains at least one electromagnet and is operable to reduce variation of the static magnetic field in the region of interest due to the lateral motion during NMR measurements based on the readings for the lateral motion.
