“…The low value of available phosphorus forms may stem from the high carbonate content (0.9%–3.67%), which increases the chemisorptions of phosphorus [ 12 ]. Similar results were observed by Yao et al (2014 [ 18 ]). In their study, the addition of spent potassium drilling muds to loam soil did not result in a marked increase of the available phosphorus forms either.…”

“…1.8-fold when the spent potassium drilling mud was added to the sandy soil with dose 60 m 3 ha -1 (which corresponds to ca . 1.5% of weight) [ 18 ]. Magalhães et al (2014) found the beneficial influence of doses of 0.03% - 0.3% of weight of the oil-based drill cuttings addition to the soil on rice ( Oryza sativa ) growth, but increasing the dose to 0.6% inhibited the plant growth [ 29 ].…”

“…Their introduction to soils improves the capacity to retain cations, which was confirmed in the studies conducted on sandy soils [ 14 ]. An increase in the value of pH and EC in the soils following the drilling wastes addition was noted by numerous scholars [ 14 – 18 ]. However, McFarland et al [1994]; Miller et al [1980]; Zvomuya et al [2009, 2008] observed a negative impact of spent water-based drilling muds on the soil processes and plant growth, attributing these effects to the high concentration of soluble salts or heavy metals [ 19 – 22 ].…”

Yao et al (2014) found that the biomass of barley (Hordeum vulgere L.) and grass (Agropyron trachycaulum) increased ca. 1.8-fold when the spent potassium drilling mud was added to the sandy soil with dose 60 m 3 ha -1 (which corresponds to ca.…”

The most economical method of drill cuttings disposal may be their application in land reclamation which allows for the wastes recovery. However, the wastes application into the soil should ensure that the quality of the environment would not be deteriorated. These investigations were aimed at identifying the effect of drill cuttings, which were the mixture of different types of drilling wastes, on the physicochemical properties of acidic soil and growth of red clover (Trifolium pratense L.). The experimental design comprised 5 treatments, which differed in a dose of the drill cuttings: 0% (control), 2.5%, 5%, 10% and 15% of dry weight. A six-week pot experiment was conducted to determine the influence of the wastes on the plant growth. The results showed that the drill cuttings addition significantly changed the chemical and physicochemical properties of the soil, such as: electrical conductivity (EC), pH, base saturation, content of carbonate, alkaline cations (Ca2+, Na+, K+, Mg2+), organic matter, total organic carbon (TOC), and available phosphorus form. However, the most important factors that influenced the growth of red clover were pH, base saturation, content of Mg2+ and plant available phosphorus. The red clover biomass was increased from 1.5 to 2.5 times depending on the dose of wastes. We concluded that the examined wastes can be used for reclamation of the acid and unfertile degraded soils, but the amount of wastes should not exceed 5% of the soil, because the highest total clover biomass was observed just at this dose.

Landspraying while drilling (LWD) is an approved disposal method for water‐based drilling mud (WBM) systems in western Canada, where the mud is applied either on arable or vegetated land. This study examined the effects of a single LWD application (0, 15, 20, 40, or 80 m3 ha−1) on native prairie soil properties. Results from the study showed a significant increase in Na concentration and sodium adsorption ratio (SAR) in the 0‐ to 7.5‐cm depth. However, the highest SAR attained (3.46) after application at the 80 m3 ha−1 rate remained below levels considered detrimental to soil structure. Electrical conductivity (EC) also increased with the LWD rate but peaked at levels (447 μS cm−1 in the 0‐ to 2.5‐cm depth) much lower than the threshold for most plant species, and the effects on EC had disappeared by the end of the first year of mud application. Available P concentration (modified Kelowna method), averaged across sampling times and the two depths (0‐ to 2.5‐ and 2.5‐ to 7.5‐cm), increased from 7.4 to 11 mg kg−1 as LWD rate increased from 0 to 80 m3 ha−1. Although the available P remained at concentrations suboptimum for most crops, such concentrations may impact native prairie vegetation adapted to very low P. Drilling mud applications generally had no significant effect on available N. The application of WBM systems on the native prairie at recommended rates in western Canada may not be detrimental to soil quality and plant growth in this ecosystem.
