Abstract
Present invention relates to a method for real-time measuring weight and volume of discharging particulate material generated in oil and gas exploration and production operations, to determine borehole cleaning efficiency, said method comprising the following steps: leading drilling fluids and drilled particulate material (1) to a separation device (2), and separate the drilling fluids and particulate material; returning the separated drilling fluids (3) to a drilling operation or storage; leading the separated particulate material (4) to a chute (5) with a chute vibration motor (10) weight cells (7) and a bottom valve (11), said chute (5) is placed on weight cells (7), fill the chute (5) until a predetermined weight of particulate material in the chute (5) has been reached; recording the weight of the particulate material in the chute (5) open the bottom valve (11) and transfer the particulate to a cyclone blower (12), close the bottom valve (11) and open the cyclone blower outlet valve (16); supply pressurized gas into the cyclone blower (12) and blow the particulate material out of the cyclone blower (12) via an outlet pipe (17) and into a secondary weighing device. The invention also relates to a device for performing the method.
