Title: use cutting conveyors and dryers
Text: "Rigs were outfitted with cuttings conveying systems and dryers for ROC (retention on cuttings) reduction. Special provisions were made to make sure that rigs could go to zero discharge (e.g. using storage of drill waste in cuttings boxes) in case cuttings drying equipment had to be taken offline without upsetting drilling operations."
