Pressure coring where the core apparatus drills the core sample and seals the core sample at its native downhole pressure (e.g., several thousand psi) may be expanded to include nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) imaging components to produce a pressurized NMR core holder that allows for NMR imaging of the core samples having been maintained in a downhole fluid saturation state. NMR imaging performed may include 1H and also 19F imaging depending on the chamber fluid used in the pressurized NMR core holder.
