Sources and Characteristics of Liquid Process Wastes From Arctic Offshore Hydrocarbon Exploration
Increased interest in offshore hydrocarbon exploration in Arctic waters raises concern regarding liquid waste management from drilling operations. The typical sources of process liquid waste from exploratory drilling operations is described and data on the quantity and quality of liquid waste discha...
