  • Formation-cutting analysis system for detecting downhole problems during a drilling operation
    Patent number: 11802474
    Abstract: A system is disclosed for detecting a problem associated with a drilling operation based on the properties of a formation cutting. The system can include a camera for generating an image of the formation cutting extracted from a subterranean formation. The system can include one or more sensors for detecting one or more characteristics of the subterranean formation or a well tool. The system can provide the image as input to a first model for determining one or more properties of the formation cutting based on the image. The system can provide the one or more properties and the one or more characteristics as input to a second model for detecting a downhole problem associated with the drilling operation. The system can transmit an alert indicating the downhole problem and optionally a recommended solution to a user.
