Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure include systems and methods for collecting, storing, separating, and disposing of waste material from an oil and gas well site in order to enhance payload efficiency. An embodiment of a method, for example, may include introducing a waste material into an enhanced-payload mobile vessel positioned at the oil and gas well site, the waste material selected to include one or more of a sludge waste material, a solids-laden wastewater material, and a dry waste material. The method may further include transporting the waste material when positioned in the enhanced-payload mobile vessel along roadways to an off-site waste management facility. Additionally, the method may include dumping the waste material from the enhanced-payload mobile vessel by a site-based lifting mechanism into a receiving vessel at the off-site waste management facility thereby to dispose of the waste material at a reduced transportation cost.

Abstract: Users of organizations use many different third-party applications. The organizations use the services of a server to manage and interact with the third-party applications. In particular, the server provides a remote login service that interacts with auto-login components executing within the domains of the organizations. The auto-login components intercept (e.g., at networking devices of the organization) the requests to login to, or otherwise use, the third-party applications, and sends them to the remote login service. The remote login service handles transparent login of the users to the third-party applications, capturing resulting URLs and session cookies of the third-party applications and providing them to the user browsers so that the user is automatically provided with access to the applications without requiring manual login interactions.
