KOSUN will have more opportunities to make great contributions to the drilling waste management in China, with the establishment of “Xi’an Oil and Gas Drilling Waste Management Engineering Research Center”, The most attractive content in a DWM Solids Control http://www.kosun.us/drilling-waste-management/ research report officially released by this research center is “zero discharge of drilling waste”. Drilling waste management (DWM) services provided by KOSUN Oil tools reduces wastes generated during drilling activities to acceptable environmental levels.
According to additional and additional strict demand for environmental protection in Chinese domestic rig drilling work website, voluminous drilling waste comes had been issued since last year. With years expertise of drilling waste treatment http://www.kosungroup.com/products/drilling-waste-management/ comes operation for overseas market and continuous technology analysis within the field, KOSUN brings complete zero discharge drilling waste management answer back for Chinese domestic drilling coorporations and field service corporations.
During the traditional drilling process, waste pit is built at the drilling site for drilling waste management. That is, drilling waste management system is discharged to the waste pit at ground level for next-stage treatment, or even directly buried. This traditional discharge mode causes serious pollution and great harm to the environment and human life; therefore, State Environmental Protection Administration of China made a formal legislation in January 2015 to put forward stricter requirements and standards for drilling waste management.
Application of drilling waste fluid technology and drilling mud solids control equipment research. According to reports, the country has developed a number of drilling waste management companies http://www.kosungroup.com/products/drilling-waste-management/ viable technology and related solids control equipment, and field operational test drilling site. From the actual operation, the processing speed in 5~ 10m3 / h, water quality analysis from the treated final effluent shows basically reached the national emission standards, the water is clear.
Drilling waste management and cuttings disposal have become a critical issue for any drilling operations because of stringent effluent limitations on the discharge of contaminated drill cuttings to the environment. The wastes discarded by the drilling mud circulation system must be disposed in safe way to the environment.
Drilling waste management was established in the drilling industry post 1980’s, which is driven by high exploration and production activities, ever increasing stringent government regulations and escalating investments from the oil and gas operators. The trend is set to continue further with the current surge in offshore activities and shale reserve exploratory activities. The global drilling waste management market is therefore expected to grow to approximately $8 billion by 2018, at a CAGR of more than 10% from 2013 to 2018.
