Inventory of Processes and Raw Materials Used in the Processing of Drilling Mud Resulted From Natural Gas Extraction, in the Ogra Waste Deposit

Abstract

The paper deals with a modern drilling mud processing technology resulted following the extraction of natural gas, found in the Ogra waste deposit, in Mures County. The method of treatment of these wastes involves using a specific recipe which insures a minimal impact on the environment. Depending on the physical and chemical properties of the drilling mud, its aggressiveness towards water and soil can be established. The paper characterizes the processing method through the recovery of these wastes and presents proposals for reducing environmental risks.
