Abstract: A system for sequestering carbon in a well includes a fluid waste processor configured to receive the fluid waste, to receive water, to separate solids from the fluid waste such that a separated fluid waste is generated, and to introduce the separated fluid waste and the water into a disposal well, a first sensor positioned at a first location and configured to measure a flowrate of the separated fluid waste and the water. The system includes a data processor configured to determine an amount of carbon sequestered in the well based on the flowrate measured by the first sensor and a hydrocarbon content of the separated fluid waste and the water, and a second sensor positioned at a second location in the fluid waste processor, the second sensor configured to measure a flowrate of the separated fluid waste but not a flowrate of the water.

Abstract: A shaker assembly and method, of which the shaker assembly includes a shaker tank, a mixing tank in fluid communication with the shaker tank and positioned adjacent thereto, an overflow weir positioned between and separating the shaker tank and the mixing tank, a first shaker positioned over the shaker tank, and a second shaker. The first and second shakers are configured to operate in parallel to partially separate a solid from a liquid of a drilling waste fluid. During normal operation, at least some of the liquid flows from the first and second shakers to the shaker tank, and from the shaker tank over the overflow weir and into the mixing tank.

Abstract: A drilling fluid waste disposal system includes a trench having an outlet, a receiving pit in fluid communication with the outlet of the trench, a first weir in the receiving pit, and a second weir in the receiving pit. The outlet of the trench feeds a slurry to the receiving pit, such that the slurry is at least partially separated into a liquid-enriched portion and a fluid-enriched portion using the first and second weirs. The system also includes a pump configured to draw the liquid-enriched portion of the slurry from the receiving pit and configured to introduce the at least some of the liquid-enriched portion of the slurry back into the trench. The system further includes a drying apparatus in communication with the receiving pit configured to receive the solids-enriched portion of the slurry from a second position in the receiving pit.

Abstract: A system for injecting a portion of a fluid waste into a well includes a fluid waste processor configured to receive the fluid waste and process the fluid waste for storage in the well, a primary sensor coupled to the fluid waste processor at a primary location, the primary sensor being configured to measure a fluid flow rate of the fluid waste, a hydrocarbon content of the fluid waste at or proximal to the primary location of the primary sensor being determined, and a data processor configured to determine an amount of carbon sequestered in the well based at least in part on a combination of the fluid flow rate and the hydrocarbon content.

Abstract: A system for injecting a portion of a drilling fluid waste into a well includes a receiving pit configured to receive a drilling fluid waste. A shaker is configured to receive the drilling fluid waste from the receiving pit and to separate solids from the drilling fluid waste to produce a separated drilling fluid waste. A mixing tank is configured to receive the separated drilling fluid waste from the shaker and to mix the separated drilling fluid waste. One or more tanks are configured to receive water. A pump is configured to cause the separated drilling fluid waste and the water to flow into a well.

Abstract: A portion of a drilling fluid waste is injected into a well. A cross-sectional dimension of solids in a slurry is reduced. The slurry includes the drilling fluid waste. A property of the slurry, of the well, or both is measured. A model is obtained based at least partially upon the property. The model represents an interaction of the slurry with the well. An additive is introduced into the slurry in response to measuring the property, generating the model, or both. The slurry is injected into the well after the additive is introduced.

Abstract: A method for injecting a portion of a drilling fluid waste into a well includes separating solids from the drilling fluid waste to produce a filtered drilling fluid waste. A cross-sectional dimension of at least a portion of the solids is reduced. The filtered drilling fluid waste is combined with the at least a portion of the solids that were reduced in dimension to produce a slurry. A property of the slurry is measured. The property is adjusted in response to measuring the property. The slurry is injected into the well.
