EFD Program Waste Management at EFD Program Waste Management at Well SiteWell Site
Total Waste Management Programs• Incorporates other aspects in addition to drilling fluids/cuttings
• Contaminated water, water runoff• Material and chemical packaging• Air emissions such as carbon dioxide and oxides of nitrogen• Scrap metals• Fuel, lubricants and other oils• Usual human/industrial wastes associated with operations
• Benefits• Overall improvement in general housekeeping• Reduced health and safety exposure• General increase in environmental awareness and concern

Develop innovative concepts for reducing the footprint of transporting equipment and materials to drill sites in environmentally sensitive areas
• A multidisciplinary academic, industry and government partnership
• Industry has significant technology to demonstrate environmental stewardship.
• Implementation of best practices needs to be prioritized with respect to project economics.
