| Title: |
On-site drilling waste treatment system |
| Text: |
"An on-site drilling waste treatment system, using dewatering or closed-loop drilling, was used successfully on
nearly 40 wells in New Mexico. The process reduced waste
volume, long-term liability and cost. The condition of the
treated material also improved disposal." |
