drill cuttings
-
One of the biggest ways to lower the cost of production from shale would be to identify zones that are productive, or not, before fracturing them. -
The inventor of a new water-based drilling fluid believes the chemical process involved with his technology opens up natural fractures as drilling takes place to increase production in shale formations.

Advances in modeling techniques allow quantitative prediction of long-term trends in cuttings-pile characteristics and environmental risks, providing firm direction in mitigating risks.
