More Companies and US States Eyeing Slurry-Injection Technology
–Journal of Petroleum Technology
The economic downturn of 2020 led many oil and gas (O&G) companies and exploration and production (E&P) operators looking for ways to reduce cost while also trying to reduce their carbon footprint. For oilfield-waste-disposal providers, waste-slurry injection is one way to accomplish both economic and environmental objectives. Slurry injection is used to treat, dispose of, and contain toxic and nontoxic waste without damaging the environment while efficiently producing a dependable resource. It involves the grinding and processing of solids into small particles, which are mixed with water or liquids to create a slurry. Waste management companies such as Advantek and Milestone Environmental Services use slurry injection to deposit oilfield waste deep underground where it poses a reduced risk to the environment.
