Abstract

Automated drill cutting monitoring system includes a digital imaging device mounted to a shale shaker of a wellbore drilling assembly and a computer system. The digital imaging device captures digital images of solid objects released when drilling a subterranean zone. The computer system receives the digital images and determines a space occupied by the solid objects on the shale shaker. Using the space occupied by the solid objects on the shale shaker, the computer system determines wellbore conditions.
