Title: Application of computer models to reduce drilling waste
Text: "Recently there has been an emphasis on developing computer models to help the drilling professionals with their waste management planning decisions. The computer-based approach allows the relationship between drilling parameters, waste handling, treatment, and disposal options to be examined rapidly. By applying an experience-based bonus/malice system of evaluation, computer programs can also evaluate the potential for future liabilities to be created."
