Sampling – Catch and Process
Sample Types
Washed & Dried – Collected at shakers, washed in sieves, then dried in Oven /
Microwave and put in paper or plastic sample envelopes.
• Cuttings 3mm or less in diameter. Larger than 3mm normally taken as cavings.
• Correctly lagged samples. Caught a minute or two early/ late no difference.
10 minutes or more early/late makes sample information worthless.
• Samples must represent the entire interval being drilled.
If the sample is collected directly from the shaker screens (Spot Sample), it will only
represent a small fraction of the drilled interval.
• Always report samples honestly.
If a sample was missed, report it as missed and place missed sample bag in boxes as
if sample collected (some clients may ask you to list samples missed in reports).
Do not ‘make up’ samples to cover up a missed interval (Double bagging).
