“…To avoid excessive waste accumulation, it is necessary to extend the life cycle of drilling waste. The most environmentally friendly, resource-efficient, and rational approach involves utilizing waste in the production of construction materials and products [64][65][66][67]. This method not only frees up territories designated for storing drill cuttings but also yields ecological and economic benefits from drilling pit elimination, simultaneously enhancing the environmental safety of mining and industrial territories.…”

Drilling-waste management is of great importance in the oil and gas industry due to the substantial volume of multi-component waste generated during the production process. Improper waste handling can pose serious environmental risks, including soil and water contamination and the release of harmful chemicals. Failure to properly manage waste can result in large fines and legal consequences, as well as damage to corporate reputation. Proper drilling-waste management is essential to mitigate these risks and ensure the sustainable and responsible operation of oil and gas projects. It involves the use of advanced technologies and best practices to treat and utilize drilling waste in an environmentally safe and cost-effective manner. This article describes a feasibility study of four drilling-waste management options in the context of the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug of Russia. For ten years of the project life, the NPV under the base scenario is equal to RUB −3374.3 million, under the first scenario is equal to RUB −1466.7 million, under the second scenario is equal to RUB −1666.8 million and under the third scenario is equal to RUB −792.4 million. When considering projects, regardless of oil production, the project under the third scenario pays off in 7.8 years and the NPV is RUB 7.04 million. The MCD and MCV parameters were calculated to be 106 km and 2290 tons, respectively. Furthermore, the study estimates the ecological damage prevented and the environmental effect of each option. Quantitative risk assessments, conducted through sensitivity analysis, reveal that the fourth option, involving the conversion of drilling waste into construction materials, emerges as the most economically feasible. The study also evaluates the interaction between business and government and analyzes the current situation in the sphere of drilling-waste management, concluding with concise recommendations for both companies and official bodies.

“…Therefore, it is necessary to develop green, safe, and environmentally friendly resource recycling utilization approaches for ODCPRs. Researchers have extensively explored the resource utilization of ODCPRs to prepare building materials, for example non-fired 11 or fired bricks 12 , hot mix asphalt 13 , cement clinker 14 , 15 , oil well cement 16 , concrete aggregate 17 , 18 , subgrade materials 4 , glass–ceramic materials 19 . Nevertheless, the manufacture of these building materials from ODCPRs is costly and energy-intensive, while the resource utilization products are usually low value-added.…”

Oil-based drilling cutting pyrolysis residues (ODCPRs), bauxite, and sintering additives were applied to manufacture ceramic proppants with low density and high strength in this work. The effect of ODCPRs ratio, sintering temperature, holding time, and the content of additives on the performance of the proppants was comprehensively investigated, respectively. And the sintering mechanism of proppants was also discussed according to the phase, microstructure, and thermal behavior analyses. The results revealed that at the best sintering condition (1280 °C, holding for 60 min), and a mass ratio (ODCPRs: bauxite: MnO2 at 3:7:0.1), the well-developed granular corundum and acicular mullite formed inside the proppants and interspersed with each other to form a dense structure. The proppants presented low density and high strength as the bulk density of 1.48 g/cm3, the apparent density of 2.94 g/cm3, a breakage ratio of 5.25% under 52 MPa closed pressure, and the acid solubility of 4.80%, which could well meet the requirement of the standards of SY/T 5108-2014. This work provided a new pathway for recycling ODCPRs and the fabrication of high-performance proppants.

This study evaluates the influence of milling on the reactivity of drilling cuttings (DC) utilized as supplementary cementitious material in ternary cements (TC). The drilling cuttings milling study varied the time (2, 5, 10, 15, and 20 min) and rotation speed (200 and 300 rpm), determining the specific milling energy and grindability index. The hydration of TC pastes containing DC with different particle size distributions was evaluated by isothermal calorimetry during the first 72 hours, XRD/Rietveld at 3 and 28 days, compressive strength and absorption. The incorporation of milled DC improved the TC hydration kinetics compared to reference pastes of ordinary Portland cement (REF.PC). After 28 days, the TC pastes with the D 50% diameter smaller than 11 µm reached at least 70% of the resistance to the strength of the Portland cement paste. Milled DC contributes to the physical and nucleation effect of the TC pastes studied and can be used as an SCM.
