The drilling waste management is one of the most important challenges in the oil gas drilling industry. The used drilling mud and cuttings are the main problem. The main pollution of cuttings is caused by:
●Drilling Mud ●Oil
●Biocides ●Completion or stimulation fluid components
●Corrosion inhibitors ●Reservoir Fluids
A sustainable development requires the zero discharge of wastes into environment. Decanter centrifuge and vertical cuttings dryer have proven to be an important and efficient piece of equipment to treat the drilling cuttings after solids control process.

Drilling operators have to follow the national environmental policy worldwide. Because the sustainable development becomes a basis of environmental policy it is no more possible to continue the open system of drilling waste management. Research institutions and drilling operators are looking for technology meeting the closed system requirements. There are three main points such approach:
●Amount of waste has to be minimized as much as possible
●Reusing and recycling is necessary
●Only safe and similar to the local environment material can be deposited
