  • Patent number: 11946367
    Abstract: An example system may be used to automate one or more processes relating to drill cutting handling, cleaning, and packing to produce consistently high-quality cleaned samples. In some implementations, an example system may employ cleaning processes including centrifugal and ultrasonic processes to clean a sample automatically without the aid of a human operator thereby increasing efficiency and quality of the produced samples for better subsequent sample analysis. A system may include an unloading module, a cleaning module, and packing module, all of which may be operated in combination with a robotic arm.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20230073189
    Abstract: A modular geologic core examination table is claimed. The modular geologic core examination table includes at least two legs, each leg comprising an extending portion for increasing the effective length of each leg, the extending portion at least partially concentrically disposed within or around the leg from which it extends, and wheels affixed to each of the at least two legs, wherein the wheels comprise braking functionality. The modular geologic core examination table also includes a tabletop coupled to the at least two legs, the tabletop including a top surface for receiving a core sample tray configured to hold the geologic core samples, wherein the tabletop is disposed above an automated guided vehicle (AGV) configured to navigate the modular core examination table while carrying geologic core samples from one geologic processing station to another without collisions.

  • Patent number: 11598760
    Abstract: A geologic core inspection table includes at least two legs, each including an extending portion for increasing the effective length of each leg, the extending portion at least partially concentrically disposed within or about the leg from which it extends; and a tabletop disposed above and coupled to the legs. The tabletop includes a top surface for receiving a core sample tray. At least one leg may be extended to a different height than at least one other leg.
