OSU Extension Offers Field Day on Drilling Mud Application to Fields

Mon, 18 Jun 2012 14:44:21 CDT

With increased oil and gas drilling, there is more drilling mud being applied to soils compared to recent years. The main contaminant in oil-based drilling mud is "total petroleum- based hydrocarbons," or TPH for short.

The goal of land application is to degrade the TPH as quickly as possible (bio-remediation). This research and demonstration aims to examine how different drilling mud amendments (lime, gypsum, caliche, manure) might improve TPH degradation and impact soil properties.

The Oklahoma State University Cooperative Extension Service is offering a field day to educate the public about the application of oil-based drilling mud to fields. The two-hour event is scheduled for 10 a.m. June 22nd, nine miles north of Shattuck.

The field day will demonstrate the application of drilling mud and discuss its impact on the environment. It will feature presentations from Dr. Jason Warren, and Dr. Chad Penn. They will discuss the composition of drilling mud and studies undertaken on test plots to assess its impact.

Lunch will be provided, but reservations must be made by June 18th. To register, call 580-885-7775.

Directions: From the town of Shattuck, go 9 miles North on US Hwy 283, 1.5 miles East on EW 43. Demonstration site is on the North side of the road.
