Description

Onshore exploration and production (E&P) activities generatea limited variety of wastes. Ninety-eight percent of E&P waste(by volume) is composed of produced water, most of which is disposed of via Class II injection wells. The remaining 2% is composed of drilling wastes (drilling muds and wellbore cuttings that yield pit solids and liquids) and associated wastes which include production solids, tank bottoms, oily emulsions, and so forth. E&P wastes that are not recycled or managed at off-site facilities are commonly disposed of on site in pits or landspread over larger areas.
