Drilling waste management was established in the drilling industry post 1980’s, which is driven by high exploration and production activities, ever increasing stringent government regulations and escalating investments from the oil and gas operators. The trend is set to continue further with the current surge in offshore activities and shale reserve exploratory activities. The global drilling waste management market is therefore expected to grow to approximately $8 billion by 2018, at a CAGR of more than 10% from 2013 to 2018.
