“…Different types of rocks have different permeability characteristics; slurry injection relies on fracturing and the permeability of the formation receiving the injected slurry (Nagel, 2005, Puder et al, 2003. Most annular injection jobs inject into shale or other low-permeability formations, and most dedicated injection wells inject into highpermeability sand layers (Puder et al, 2003). In spite of the type of rock selected for the injection formation, preferred sites will be overlaid by formations having the opposite permeability characteristics (high vs. low) (Veil andDusseault, 2003, Puder et al, 2003).…”

“…The other common problem related to slurry injection is operationsrelated challenges such as plugging of the casing or piping because solids have settled out during or following injection; excessive erosion of casing, tubing, and other system components caused by pumping solids-laden slurry at high pressure (Puder et al, 2003). Hence, for a successful reinjection process, the operators should evaluate the re-injection technique comprehensively.…”

As the demands to reduce the environmental impact of oil and gas operations increase in the Arctic region, the need to identify suitable waste handling systems becomes more essential. The aim of this paper is to propose a methodology for identifying a suitable drilling waste handling system, by considering the distinctive operating conditions of the Arctic region. The proposed methodology can help the user to explore and assess waste minimisation, handling, treatment, and disposal techniques for Arctic drilling that fit a wide range of operating requirements and needs. By making use of the proposed methodology, a suitable waste handling system that ensures sustainability and fulfils HSE (health, safety, and environment) standards can be recommended. The application of the methodology is demonstrated by a case study of drilling waste handling practices in the Johan Castberg oil and gas field, located in the Barents Sea.

“…Nonhazardous wastes, such as water-treatment sludges (Ca 2 + rich), oily sand, and municipal biosolids, would be subject to far less stringent criteria than, for example, refinery wastes or solids with significant amounts of cadmium, lead, and selenium. In addition, within generally complex existing sets of regulatory constraints that are different for every jurisdiction (Puder et al, 2003), the disposal process should remain cost effective while providing high levels of environmental security.…”
