Abstract
A system for automated collection of cutting samples produced during the drilling of a well includes an automated valve system for periodically collecting samples including fluid and cuttings from a flow line from a drilling rig and a packaging system for packaging each sample collected from the flow line. The packaging system deposits each sample received from the valve system at a corresponding point along a moving elongated strip of base material, covers the elongated strip of base material and samples deposited on the base material with a strip of cover material, and advances the covered elongated strip of base material and covered samples onto a reel.
