| Abstract | In Vietnam, there are looking for additional oil, gas supplies from domestic sources, meaning that Vietnam has to drill more oil, and gas exploration and productions wells.Drilling waste generation from drilling wells are increasing, drilling waste management is an important step in the petroleum activities and the application of efficient method treatment and management have become a major environmental concern in the oil and gas field in Vietnam. Reviewing the current treatment method (Cement production and waste co-processing process operating by Holcim Vietnam) for drilling mud waste at Cuu Long Join Operating Company(CLJOC), block 15-1, offshore Vietnam. Following the Field Development Plan, CLJOC will drill 10 wells with estimation volume of waste: 3,220 m3 of Cutting; 860 m3 of Mud; 16,150 m3 of Wastewater and 233 m3 of domestic garbage.The Estimation cost for current treatment method of 860 m3 of Mud is around five hundred thousands US Dolar.The feasibility of an alternative method for drilling mud waste treatment is considered, particularly the bio degradation by worms was reviewed and proposed in this study. Influential factors including economic benefit, technology needs were also discussed. With the volume of Drilling Mud mentioned above, the method “bio degradation by worms” just need spend only around 50 thousand US Dollar and the by product may use for land farming as fertilizer and may be applied this treatment method in Vietnam for drilling mud waste treatment. |
