Cutting remediation
13 June 2015 Dear colleagues,We'd value some advice on how you manage cuttings treatment and remediation... cost-effectively.
The application is land-based operations. The cuttings are 'water-based' (no aromatics), but chlorides, caustic etc are mixed in. Summer temperatures are as high as 50 deg C, snow in winter is not uncommon. The local environment can be described as hilly, with limestone the predominant surface feature.
We have a received a proposal to mix with cement slurry and bury in a bentonite-lined pit. This is very expensive but also seems rather 'agricultural'.
What other solutions have you come up with, and applied successfully, perhaps engaging the local community.
Many thanks
Chris
