Patent number: 11753925Abstract: A method for estimating a parameter relating to solids recovered from a wellbore includes drilling a wellbore using a bottomhole assembly; conveying solids in the wellbore to the surface using drilling fluid; separating the drilling fluid from the solids; and continuously dropping the solids into a solids evaluator positioned above a dryer. The solids evaluator includes a chute having a vertically aligned bore in which the dropped solids reach a constant velocity, a sensor assembly generating a microwave field, and a control unit. The control unit estimates a mass flow rate of the solids based on the generated signals. The method may further include generating the signals representative of a mass flow rate of the dropped solids using the sensor assembly and using the control unit to estimate the mass flow rate of the solids based on the generated signals.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2022Date of Patent: September 12, 2023Assignee: Baker Hughes Holdings LLCInventors: Stuart E. Hardeman, William Metcalf, Robert Guidry, Kassie E. Mobley, Sean Oliver, Joshuah A. Granados, Michael L. Paul

Publication number: 20220372863Abstract: A method for estimating a parameter relating to solids recovered from a wellbore may include drilling a wellbore using a bottomhole assembly; conveying solids in the wellbore to a surface location using a drilling fluid; separating the drilling fluid from the solids using at least one shaker; conveying the separated solids by using a conveyor; and continuously dropping the solids into a solids evaluator positioned vertically above the dryer. The solids evaluator includes a chute having a vertically aligned bore in which the dropped solids reach a constant velocity, a sensor assembly generating a microwave field in a section of the chute where the dropped solids have the constant velocity, and a control unit in signal communication with the sensor assembly. The control unit estimates a mass flow rate of the solids based on the generated signals.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 11, 2022Publication date: November 24, 2022Applicant: Baker Hughes, a GE Company, LLCInventors: Stuart E.
