Drilling Waste Results from Oil and Gas Exploration
Drilling waste consists of drilling mud and solid drill cuttings
– Drilling mud lubricates drill bit and carries cuttings to surface
– Solid drill cuttings must be separated from mud so mud can be recycled
Generally produced in large volumes during well drilling
Waste can cause environmental problems when disposed

Drilling Waste Management Decisions Are Complex
Drilling waste disposal can be costly
– Disposal method must be determined prior to beginning operations
Many technical options for drilling waste management
– Three main management methods, 12 sub-options, with many variations
– Not all options are allowed or make sense in all locations
– New, environmentally-friendly methods available
Complex regulations exist at federal and state level for disposal practices
– Can greatly restrict available options
How do operators determine which drilling waste management methods to use?

Drilling Waste Management Information System (DWMIS)
Three modules:
Technology Description Module – technical fact sheets on current disposal methods and technologies
Regulatory Module – compendium of federal and state regulations
Technology Identification Module – expert system to select reasonable disposal alternatives for a given location and circumstances.
Web-based resource for environmentally responsible drilling waste management decision making
