Production of construction materials based on drilled cuttings for the road industry

Abstract

This paper discusses the drilled cuttings treatment technologies. It also considers the main adverse effects of drilling waste on the environment. The main advantages of drilling sludge processing into building products are given. The main methods of oil waste management practices currently used in international practice are analyzed. Some technologies of raw oil refinery in obtaining by- product are considered. Their main advantages and disadvantages associated with the peculiarities of the technological process and the method on which it is based are described. The possibility of obtaining construction material, expanded clay and other materials using drilling cuttings is also assessed. An experiment to obtain a building stone is given and the possibility of its use is evaluated. The conclusions are based on obtained properties of the manufactured material
