Abstract:
Some implementations include a method for analyzing cuttings from a plurality of depths while drilling a wellbore in a subsurface formation, the method comprising: obtaining cuttings samples from the plurality of depths while drilling the wellbore in the subsurface formation; performing the following operations for each of the cuttings samples: loading a cuttings sample into a viewing area of a microscope coupled to an image capture device and a computer having a learning machine, performing analyses on the cuttings sample, and capturing, via the image capture device, a plurality of images of the cuttings sample through the microscope. The method further includes outputting a standardized cuttings report generated by the learning machine.
