Abstract

See full text

A method for evaluating solid drilling fluid additives such as lost cuttings materials (LCM) includes acquiring a calibrated digital image of solid particles separated from drilling fluid circulating in a wellbore. The calibrated digital image is processed to identify individual ones of the solid particles depicted in the image. Color features and/or texture features are extracted from the identified solid particles depicted in the image. The extracted color and/or texture features are processed to identify LCM particles among the identified solid particles and to classify each of the identified LCM particles into one of a plurality of LCM classes and thereby obtain an LCM particle classification.
