Abstract: A method for depth determination of drilled rock cuttings is disclosed. The taggant is injected and transported downhole along the mud stream and attaches to the rock cuttings. Taggant impregnated cuttings are detected at the surface based on molecular weight, emission wavelengths or radio frequency characteristics for encoding the taggant. The identification code identifies the depth of the drill bit when the particular batch of the taggant is released into the mud. The detection data, in addition to mud properties, flow rates, drill volume and penetration rates, formation characteristics, and well specifications are transferred to and analyzed by a taggant analysis and control engine. The taggant analysis and control engine controls an IoT controller that adapts the parameters of the taggant injection pump to achieve an intelligent controlled release to optimize the depth characterization process.

Abstract: A gravimeter, a gravimeter system, and a method for measuring gravitational acceleration within a borehole are described herein. The gravimeter includes a proof mass that is constrained by springs and an optical interferometer for measuring displacement of the proof mass. The optical interferometer generates a light path from a light source to a reflective surface on the proof mass. Spatial displacement of the proof mass from a reference position to a position of gravitational equilibrium is determined by measuring a change in length of the light path. In turn, gravitational acceleration can be determined from the spatial displacement of the proof mass. A number of such gravimeters can be used in a gravimeter system to make measurements of gravitational acceleration in variety of different directions.
