  • Drilling fluid disposal injection system and method
    Patent number: 10180036
    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.

  • Drilling fluid disposal injection system and method
    Patent number: 10132140
    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.
