Drill Cuttings Preparation Equipment

CuttingsDNA is Epslog’s equipment for washing and drying drill cuttings — the essential first step before any further sample handling or analysis.
Commercially available today, CuttingsDNA automates a process that’s traditionally inconsistent, giving operators reliably clean, dry cuttings samples every time.

WHAT IS CuttingsDNA?

Drill cuttings are among the most commonly recovered rock materials — but inconsistent washing and drying in the field can compromise sample quality before any further work even begins.

CuttingsDNA is Epslog’s equipment for automating this first step. It delivers consistently washed and dried cuttings samples, ready for storage, description, or further analysis — the foundation of Epslog’s broader approach to cuttings.

HOW CuttingsDNA WORKS

CuttingsDNA equipment automates the washing and drying of drill cuttings on site — removing drilling fluid residue and excess moisture to produce a clean, consistent sample.

This is the first and currently available step in Epslog's cuttings workflow, ensuring every sample is handled the same way, regardless of who's operating the equipment or where in the world it's deployed.

WHAT'S NEXT FOR CuttingsDNA

Cuttings washing and drying is the first phase of Epslog’s cuttings digitalization approach. Further capabilities are in development — check back, or contact us directly to discuss your project’s timeline.
