DRILL CUTTINGS REUSE IN ROOFING MATERIALS
Abstract:
A process for the reuse of oilfield drilling waste with an natural affinity for oil which has had at least a portion of the contaminants removed using a remediation technology. The drilling waste can be further refined to ensure the waste meets a desired particle size distribution and thereafter sent for reuse by mixing the drilling waste with hot bituminous tar and thereafter using the liquids phase in roofing materials. A method of mixing the drilling waste with conventional fillers is also described to create a blended mixture of drilling waste and conventional fillers to create a new hybrid filler which is mixed with hot bituminous tar for use in roofing materials.
