- In the oil industry, during the processes of drilling exploration and oil production, a significant amount of hazardous waste such as oil-containing drill cuttings and oil sludge is generated. This waste must be safely disposed of in accordance with national and local environmental protection requirements and standards. However, the safe disposal of such hazardous waste generated in well areas located in deserts, forested hills, and offshore drilling platforms is facing the following issues:
1. Each well area is relatively scattered, producing a relatively small amount of such hazardous waste, or due to the special geographical location, it is inconvenient to build centralized treatment stations.
2. Storing amounts of such hazardous waste in well areas will create environmental and safety risks.
3. The well areas are far from disposal facilities with waste disposal qualifications, making transportation difficult and increasing safety risks and costs during transportation. This is especially true for waste generated on offshore platforms, where storage is limited, and the cost of transporting it to onshore disposal stations is very high.
4. Entrusting such waste to qualified third parties for disposal not only incurs high disposal fees but also results in the loss of base oil from oil-based drilling fluids that could be recycled and reused, indirectly increasing the production costs of drilling.
