<p>Determining physical properties of samples suspended in a drilling fluid Automated method for determining physical properties of solid materials (S), such as drill cuttings, suspended in a drilling fluid (F) while drilling a borehole (6) for extraction of a natural resource, in particular oil or gas, contained in a subterranean reservoir, comprising the steps of . - extracting the drilling fluid (F) suspending samples (S) originating from a drilling depth (D) of the borehole (6); . - separating the samples (S) from the drilling fluid (F); . - analysing the separated samples (S) by means of electron microscopy, X-ray spectrocopy, magnetic resonance imaging and/or computer tomography, the step of analysing including the generation of at least one image of at least one of the samples (S) and the determination of at least one physical property of the at least one sample (S); . - repeating the steps of extracting, separating and analysing for different samples originating from different drilling depths (D).</p> |
