Claim One:
1. A method of determining a disposal domain information for a cutting injection process at a site, comprising: performing a first fracturing simulation using a site specific datum to obtain a first fracturing result; determining a probability of creating a new fracture in a formation at the site using the first fracturing result and a probability model; performing a plurality of fracturing simulations to obtain disposal domain information, wherein the performing a plurality of fracturing simulations comprises: assigning a type of distribution for the probability of creating the new fracture in the formation at the site, selecting a first value for the probability of creating the new fracture in the formation at the site using the type of distribution running a second fracturing simulation using the first value as input to obtain a second fracturing result, wherein the second fracturing simulation is one of the plurality of simulations, and determining the disposal domain information using the second fracturing result; and generating the operational parameter for the cuttings injections process at the site using the disposal domain information.
