Description: ABSTRACT: This study evaluates the geological containment of drilling waste in sumps by conducting a literature review and problem analysis. It was identified that disposal of drilling waste in sumps may be standard practice. Also, polyethelene liners and exotic clay materials are not suitable for drilling waste disposal sumps due to high costs.
