An overview of management, recycling, and wasting disposal in the drilling operation of oil and gas wells in Iran

There is large quantity of cuttings which are produced from drilling operations oil and gas wells. Depletion of solid particles in the solid control equipments is allocated as a considerable proportion of wastes. Remaining of waste particles in the system can cause diverse affects in mud function and the occurrence of potentially destructive impacts on the environmental and ecological systems. In the operation process of the new systems, drilling cuttings are separated by solid-state control devices. All their properties are examined and then buried in a solid and fixed state after a solid-state refurbishment operation. Furthermore, all tests are carried out in the liquid phase in the environmental situation, and after being recycled, they are reused or safely buried. The objective of this comprehensive research is to introduce the new design layout, operating principles, equipment, and planning of new wastewater management from the environmental point of view which are based on available information about several drilled wells of Iran that are used for solid-state control systems and drilling waste management. Consequently, corral systems, drying-shaker and auger, and disposal sites are the common and proper methods of waste disposal in Iran.
