Method for analyzing at least a cutting emerging from a well, and associated apparatus.

摘要

The method comprises the following steps:- disposing at least a cutting (62) on a cuttings support surface (67);- placing a measuring apparatus (63) over the support surface (67), the measuring apparatus (63) facing the cutting (62), at a distance from the cutting (62);- measuring a first distance (d1) between a reference plane and the support surface (67) in the vicinity of the cutting (62) along an axis (A-A') transverse to the support surface (67) using the measuring apparatus (63);- measuring a second distance (d2) between the reference plane and the cutting (62) along the transverse axis (A-A'), using the measuring apparatus (63);- calculating a representative dimension (dzz) of the cutting based on the difference between the first distance (d1) and the second distance (d2).
