Abstract

Assessment of Drilling Waste Addition on the Salinity of Soils and Growth of Selected Grass Species

Highlights

  • Rapid development of industry threatens the natural environment in numerous ways

  • Increased occurrence of drillings related to the prospecting of gas or crude oil results in the generation of drilling wastes [Borowski et al 2019]

  • The conducted post hoc statistical analysis using T-test statistical significance indicated that the addition of drilling fluids had a statistically significant influence on the electrical conductivity (EC) values in particular mixtures

Summary

Introduction

Rapid development of industry threatens the natural environment in numerous ways. Increased occurrence of drillings related to the prospecting of gas or crude oil results in the generation of drilling wastes [Borowski et al 2019]. The growing amount of drilling wastes contributes to the largest group of industrial wastes, i.a. from coal mining. These wastes cause the appearance of degraded lands, including heaps of tailings or postdrilling areas. Their proper management facilitates reclamation and later use. In 2017, the nonreclaimed areas in Poland amounted to 8376.8 ha, and only 18.2 ha was reclaimed [GUS, 2018]
