Drilling waste management solutions for the oil and gas industry

The oil and gas industry is a vital sector of the global economy, providing energy for transportation, industrial processes, and electricity generation. However, the extraction of oil and gas also produces significant amounts of waste materials, which can harm the environment if not properly managed. One of the most significant sources of waste in the industry is drilling waste, which includes drill cuttings, drilling mud, and other fluids and solids that are generated during drilling operations. In this article, we will explore some of the drilling waste management solutions that the oil and gas industry can adopt to minimize their environmental impact.

1, On-Site Treatment

On-site treatment of drilling waste involves processing the waste materials at the drilling site itself. This approach is particularly useful for remote locations, where transporting waste materials to off-site treatment facilities may be difficult or expensive. There are several on-site treatment methods available, including thermal treatment, bioremediation, and stabilization/solidification. These methods can effectively treat drilling waste and reduce its volume, making it easier to transport and dispose of.

2, Off-Site Treatment

Off-site treatment involves transporting drilling waste to a treatment facility, where it can be processed and disposed of. This approach is particularly useful for large drilling operations, where the volume of waste produced is too high to be treated on-site. Off-site treatment facilities can use a variety of methods, including thermal treatment, chemical treatment, and bioremediation. These methods can effectively treat drilling waste and reduce its environmental impact.

3, Recycling

Recycling is another option for managing drilling waste. In this approach, waste materials such as drill cuttings and drilling mud are processed to recover usable materials. For example, drilling mud can be recycled by removing the contaminants and reusing them in subsequent drilling operations. Recycling can reduce the volume of waste generated and provide cost savings for the drilling company.

4, Landfill Disposal

Landfill disposal is a traditional method of waste management, which involves disposing of drilling waste in designated landfills. While this approach is effective in reducing the volume of waste generated, it has the potential to contaminate the soil and groundwater if not properly managed. To minimize the environmental impact of landfill disposal, it is essential to select appropriate landfill sites and implement best management practices, such as liner systems and leachate collection systems.

5, Zero Discharge Systems

Zero discharge systems are an innovative approach to drilling waste management, which aims to eliminate the need for waste disposal entirely. In these systems, all waste materials are treated on-site or recycled, and any residual waste is stored in designated containers for transport to a waste treatment facility. Zero discharge systems can significantly reduce the environmental impact of drilling operations and provide cost savings for the drilling company.

In conclusion, drilling waste management is a critical issue for the oil and gas industry, and there are several solutions available to minimize its environmental impact. On-site and off-site treatment, recycling, landfill disposal, and zero discharge systems are all viable options that can effectively manage drilling waste. By adopting these solutions, the industry can minimize its environmental footprint and demonstrate its commitment to sustainable practices.

How to deal with drilling waste at the well site with natural radiation?

KOSUN is a professional manufacturer in drilling waste management. KOSUN has many years of drilling waste management experience. It can provide supporting and efficient oilfield drilling waste mud treatment equipment for different types of waste drilling fluids, especially for waste oil-based mud and waste water-based mud. With rich experience in treatment, we can also provide professional drilling solid waste treatment equipment.

There are two main aspects of the impact of radioactive materials on people: one is that the radioactive material emits rays, it will not directly contact the body, as long as the distance is sufficient, it will generally not cause harm to the body. On the other hand, radioactive pollutants are in direct contact with the body, which is a great harm. We must be very careful to avoid contact with these pollutants as much as possible, so as not to cause unnecessary harm, but also as much as possible to avoid pollution and harm to the environment.

Natural radioactive materials can be treated by appropriate methods, by injecting waste into blocked or abandoned wells, and ensure that the water level is below the groundwater level; or discharge into the ocean after meeting the requirements of relevant environmental protection laws and regulations; or transform it within the allowable content of the environment, and stored in a specially designated place for storing natural radioactive waste; it can even be discharged into an isolated and non-evaporable pool. In order to better solve the problem of radioactive waste disposal and reduce disposal costs. Where radioactive sources are found, the equipment and tools used will also be contaminated by radioactive waste. Therefore, they must be properly handled to prevent secondary pollution.

Drilling mud solid control and waste management

Introduction of Drilling mud solid control system:

Solid control system is a technique used in a drilling rig to separate the solids in the drilling fluids that are crushed by the drill bits and carried out of the well surface. Normally, a solid control system contains five stages: the mud tank, shale shaker, vacuum degasser, desander, desilter, and centrifuge. The shale shaker is used to separate big solids with diameter above 75μm, the desander addresses solids from 45-74μm, and the desilter segregates solids between 15-44μm. Sometimes the desander and desilter are combined as one high efficiency mud cleaner. When air enters the drilling fluids, a vacuum degasser is used to separate the air. When there is no air in the mud, the degasser works as a big agitator. All these stages are mounted on the top of the mud tank. After separating the solids, the clean mud can be pumped into the borehole again.The mud system with 4 phases of solids control process can be understood as the 5 phase purification system. From shale shaker, vacuum degasser, to Desander cone, Desilter cone, and the decanting centrifuge: different working principle, different separation point. Every well drilling requires such a system to process drilling mud. However, per different well depth and different drilling conditions we’ll get different configurations and different results.

Introduction of Drillingmud waste management:

Drilling waste management system, also called as drill cutting treatment system or drilling cutting management system. According to different applications, it can be classified as water-base drilling waste management system and oil-base drilling waste management system.

The main Drilling waste management equipments are drying shaker, cutting dryer, decanter centrifuge, screw conveyor, screw pump and tanks. The drilling waste management system can effectively control the moisture content (6%-15%) and oil content (2%-8%) in drilling cuttings and stabilizes the liquid phase performance.

Difference between Drilling Waste Management and Solids Control System

Do you know what the important things are for oil drilling fields? Maybe there are two things we should consider, one is how to improve oil drilling work efficiency, and the other one is how to protect the environment around the oil drilling fields. Today KOSUN want to share our ideas about solving the two questions. When we prepare to answer the two questions, we will mention two system: solids control system and drilling waste management.

First, how to protect the environment around our oil drilling fields?

-KOSUN drilling waste management.

Just as we know, with the development of society, people have a strong mind about environment protection; we all know the importance of environment-friendly or eco-environment, we all know the importance to balance the economy development and environment protection, which is the same to our oil drilling works.

KOSUN have researched and manufactured our latest equipment – vertical cutting dryer, which is the core equipment for our drilling waste management equipment (it is also called drilling cuttings management system). Different models could meet your multiple demands in oil drilling works, especially for environment protection during the oil drilling works.Besides the cutting dryers, there are also some other important equipment for the whole drilling waste management equipment, such as decanter centrifuge, screw pumps, sand pump, screw conveyor, mud tank, etc. the whole solids control equipment could be combated together via new technology, and then provide an amazing working results, such as good environment protection.

Second, how to improve work efficiency in oil drilling works?

Generally speaking, there are many ways to reach this goal, at the same time, with the development of oil drilling fields, more and more new products come into our life and work, high quality and high tech to provide a high efficiency oil drilling works. About this question, KOSUN gives our own answer – Solids Control System.

KOSUN solids control system, which is also called mud system, you can use them in any kind of oil drilling fields. Why I said our solids control system or mud system could solve the problem of work efficiency? The reason is that our solids control system is constituted of high quality solids control equipment, such as mud tank, shale shaker, decanter centrifuge, mud cleaner, shale shaker screen, vacuum degasser, sand pump, etc. Usually, if we just use single solids control equipment, maybe the work efficiency will be lower than our expectation; while if we use newly technology to combine the different solids control equipment together, and test them until working smoothly, we must to say we have reached the goal of improving oil drilling work’s efficiency. That’s why KOSUN Solids Control Systemcould provide you a high work efficiency guarantee.

The above two points are about KOSUN solids control system and drilling waste management equipment, they are two different types system or unit, but they are the same in some extent. You could find the difference between the two systems, while you can also find the similar points between them.

The solids control system/mud system and drilling waste management equipment are the big success for KOSUN, more and more customers and partners choose these two systems used into their overseas oil drilling platforms. Anyway, solids control system and drilling waste management unit are born to improve your oil drilling work efficiency and protect the oil drilling fields environment.

How is Dryer Shaker Working in Drilling Waste Management?

KOSUN develops dryer shaker,vertical cuttings dryer, drying shaker, decanter centrifuge, screw conveyor, screw pump and other first-class high-performance drilling waste management system, taking “zero discharge of drilling waste” as the drilling waste treatment standard.

Hi-g dryer shaker reduces the liquid/oil content drilling cuttings to as low as about 10%(w/w) and recover part of the drilling mud,so that the drilling cost can be reduced and the drilling waste volume can be cut down,for the purpose of reducing environmental pollution.

Hi-G dryer shaker and vertical cuttings dryer can be introduced as drill cuttings usually take away much drilling mud and thus raise drilling cost. Hi-G dryer manages oil content and water content down to 10% from 30% while vertical cuttings dryer lowers oil on cuttings below 5%, to the greatest degree, with small rotary speed and centrifugal filtration. Either of them is effective to recover drilling mud and shrink drilling cost.

KOSUN is a professional oilfield drilling mud Hi-G Dryer shaker supplier and manufacturer in China oil drilling mud solids control and drilling waste management industry. As a pioneer in this industry, KOSUN is capable of providing customers with series products, such as oil & gas drilling fluid solids control equipment, decanter centrifuge, drilling waste management equipment and drilling security equipment.

Drilling waste management has put forward higher requirements with the constant improvement of the environmental protection requirement. It can not only be very good to solve the environmental problems, but also can do recycling to the waste of the solids control system. While drilling cutting management system maximize retains the useful mud, and it concentrated solidify after processing of drilling cuttings. That helps to reduce the destruction of the environment in oil filed worker.

In the process of oil and gas drilling, general shallow wells would use water-based mud, and deep wells would use oil-based mud, that makes conventional solids control equipment work effectively on recovery of heavy metal and stone and useful drilling fluid. However, these cutting fluids containing heavy metals and solids (presumably oil content at 12%~18%) would caused great damage on nearby vegetation, soil, groundwater and other natural environment building and human living environment if they are not managed to emissions.

Features of Drilling Waste Management System:

Good Result of Water-based Mud: 6%-10% Water Content.
Overwhelmingly overcomes the difficulty in disposing the waste all or disposing them effectively, which combines the technology brought from Italy with advantages of the same products abroad.
Stable Performance:KOSUN Drilling Waste Management is to control the volume of water containing in the drilling mud and stabilize the liquid performance, which achieves the purpose of managing the drilling waste and recycle the drilling mud without damaging the water performance.
Environmental and Economical: This cutting dryer system realizes the social value of environmental protection, maximizing the usage of drilling fluid economically.

Which manufacturer is the best in Drilling Waste Management in China?

Drilling waste management manufacturer – Kosun, from China, are searching drilling mud treatment and disposal methods for 25 years, manufacturing quality drilling cuttings waste management system and serving the clients around the world.

The advantages of Drilling waste management are:

-It is good for the environment and saves energy.

-It reduces the cost of operation as we get to reuse the materials.

In the process of drilling a water or oil hole, the solids that are obtained and the drilling fluid get mixed. This is called drilling waste. This waste must first be separated for proper management.

After separation of the mixture, the drilling fluid that is obtained can be reused. But for the solids that are obtained, proper measures need to be taken so that there is minimum wastage and no harm is caused to the environment.

The first step is to take care that the waste which is generated is as minimum as possible. This can be done by slightly changing the way, the hole is drilled. That is instead of conventional drilling other drillings options must be considered like;

1] Directional Drilling: Here instead of going directly vertical, drilling is done by taking angles while going down. Its variations are extended reach drilling, horizontal drilling and multiple laterals.

2] Drilling holes with small diameter: Technologies used to obtain holes with smaller diameter are slim hole drilling and coiled tubing drilling.

3] Techniques in which less drilling fluid is required like pneumatic drilling.

The second step is to use those fluids that does not harm our environment. Examples of such fluids are Synthetic Based muds (SBM) that biodegradable, does not accumulate and digs clean holes and has almost no toxicity.

Third is that, the wastes that are obtained must be reused as much as possible. The fluid that is obtained can be reused again as a drilling fluid. The solid cuttings that are obtained can be reused by spreading it on road and preventing road erosion or using it as a construction material.

Lastly, proper care must be taken for those solids that cannot be used and needs to be disposed. For pits may be build or may be dumped as landfills, where another layer of soil or other material.
