Slag mix mud conversion cementing technology---reduction of mud disposal volumes and management of rig-site drilling wastes. J.J. Nahm et al. J. Petrol. Sci. Engng., April 1994, 11(1), 3--12.
A new method of mud to cement conversion technology utilizing slag as the hydraulic material has been developed and the technical merits of this slag mix are reviewed briefly. The major environmental benefit being the reduction of mud disposal volume. Since application of slag mix at Prospect Auger in the Gulf of Mexico, excess whole mud discharge has been reduced by about 70%. Additionally, a new drilling waste management method to reduce or eliminate drilling waste at the rig-site has been developed. A new type of slag-supplemented drilling fluid containing 40--60 lb/bbl slag can produce slag-laden cuttings which are self-setting with time. 11 refs.
