  • Downhole detection of cuttings
    Patent number: 10851644
    Abstract: A method includes emitting, with one or more sensors of a downhole tool disposed in a borehole, an excitation signal. The method also includes detecting, with the one or more sensors, a returned signal resulting from an interaction of the excitation signal with the borehole. The method further includes estimating a noise of the returned signal. The method also includes quantifying a probability that the estimated noise is not a white noise of the borehole. The method further includes identifying drill cuttings in a predetermined location of the borehole based on said quantification.
    Type: Grant
