  • Process for conversion of intractable oil-bearing, drill cutting wastes from deep gas exploration wells to engineering construction materials
    Patent number: 9410386
    Abstract: A process is disclosed which converts intractable, semi-solid drill cuttings into a free-flowing granular, soil-like SDC material, which, after appropriate compaction, can be beneficially used for a variety of engineering construction applications, thereby removing the need for disposal with its associated costs and environmental impact, and as a result improving the overall economics for gas well development, together with improving corporate sustainability and reducing liability.
