Abstract
The article discusses one of the national environmental problems - a negative impact on the environment from improper placement of drill cuttings. The main source of pollution is oil products, chemical reagents added to drilling mud and heavy metals that are part of drill cuttings. Methods for the treatment of drill cuttings, which consist of burial, neutralization and disposal are presented. A more promising and cost-effective method is the disposal of drill cuttings. A disposal method was chosen, consisting of the use of dried drill cuttings as a mineral powder for the preparation of asphalt concrete mixture. Samples of drill cuttings from different fields of Russia were selected. Laboratory studies of drill cuttings samples were carried out and the results of the content of heavy metals, physical and chemical indicators, physical and mechanical indicators of asphalt concrete samples were given. During the research it turned out that the content of heavy metals does not exceed the established norms, the physical and chemical indicators have exceeded the established standards, the physical and mechanical indicators of asphalt concrete samples comply with the requirements of regulatory documents.
