Drilling waste management system is the key to a drilling project. It is the result of improved drilling technology, replacing traditional mud pools, reducing drilling environmental pollution and improving the necessary methods for environmental protection. The current mud waste includes water-based mud waste and oil-based mud waste. The two forms of drilling waste management system are determined according to the mud in the drilling.
Mud is also a drilling fluid, which is used to lubricate the drill bit, cement the well wall and cool down during the drilling process. In the whole drilling process, mud is of great significance to reduce drilling accidents and improve drilling efficiency. Generally, water-based mud systems and oil-based mud systems are used in drilling sites. There is a distinction between oil-based mud system and water-based mud system.
Oil-based drilling waste management system
Oil-based drilling waste does not land on the ground mainly for directional wells and ultra-deep wells. Directional wells and ultra-deep wells require an oil-based drilling waste system to prepare the mud. The oil-based drilling waste contains expensive diesel or white oil, and the oil-based drilling solids control system treats the oil-based mud. If the drilling cuttings still contain oily mud, if the mud is not treated on the ground, it will cause mud waste and increase drilling costs.

Water-based drilling waste management system
Water-based drilling waste management system are mainly used for shallow wells. Water-based mud is mainly prepared by adding chemicals or industrial salt to the soil. The solids control system uses water-based mud drilling system. The drilling waste generated by the water-based mud drilling system also contains useful mud. Disposal will also cause waste of mud, which needs to be recycled without disposal.

However, the mud does not fall through the secondary filtration, separation and recovery of drilling waste, which directly saves a lot of drilling mud, especially oil-based mud. Therefore, drilling waste management system is the key system in a drilling project.
