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.

Drilling Waste Management System – Containment and Handling

Drilling Waste Management

Drilling waste management  is more and more important. The necessity of energy is increasing relentlessly. People are becoming more and more power hungry. With the increase in the demand, drilling companies are trying to cope up with the ever increasing demand by setting up new drilling sites.

A major issue that any drilling company has to handle is how to manage the drilling wastes generated from shale shaker cuttings. Drilling waste management companies are trying to sort out the most environment friendly method for the waste management.

Drilling Waste Management Plan
Drilling Waste Management Plan

A major step of drilling waste management plan is managing the containment of the wastes generated by shale shaker. A discussion about the issue is given below.

How the drilling waste is contained and handled: The first issue that should be consider in containing and handling drilling waste is the geographical features of the certain drilling sites.

Containment and handling of drilling wastes are no longer to simply on shore based as more and more companies are engaging in off shore drilling for new source of oil and gas. The most common way of managing shale shaker generated drilling wastes is building and using sumps.

Different types of drilling wastes including cement returns drilling wasted and drilling cuttings are contained in a sump. The sumps that are used to contain drilling wastes should not be built in non – polluted area of surface.

A sump inspection must be performed by experts right before the waste disposed in it. A waste tracking system for the drilling wastes must be developed to control the flow of wastes in the sumps.

A regular and efficient inspection schedule must be maintained by the employees in order to ensure that waste contamination sumps are in subtle condition. Another important issue for handling and contamination of drilling waste is decommissioning the sumps. When any sump is decommissioned, drilling authority must ensure that there is zero possibility of further contamination.

Drilling Waste Cuttings Treatment – Pit Less Mud System

Drilling Waste

Oil and gas drilling is one of the most prolific business now a days. A very complex mechanism is used to drill oil and gas from the mine. A very common equipment that is seen in oil and gas drilling area is a shale shaker.

There are two basic approaches of drilling using a shale shaker .
The first one is the solid control system which is very popular for drilling now a days.
The second approach is the pit less mud system for drilling. Today the focus will be given on the pit less mud system for drilling.

What is pit less mud system for drilling: The pit less mud system for drilling is basically a process in which no pit is dug on the surface while for collecting cuttings from drilling.

In pit less mud system for  drilling waste cuttings treatment , a very important thing that is required to maintain is a proper integration between the waste management system and solid maintaining process. When the waste cuttings are taken out from shale shakers , two particular equipments named G force drying shaker and vertical cutting dryer are used to extract the liquid and to make the cuttings drier.

After that, the dry cuttings are transported from the shale shaker unit to the disposal unit. In that stage, the waste cuttings can be disposed on the surface without digging any pit. In many oil and gas drilling sites, a more environment friendly approach is taken to dispose drilling waste cuttings.

In that case, the drilling waste cuttings are taken to another unit for the final processing. In this unit, the waste cuttings are processed via solidification process. Waste cuttings can also be processed by thermal desorption machine. Thus, the drilling waste cuttings become contamination free and environment friendly. Then, the waste cuttings can be disposed without any fear.
