Drill cuttings definition

Drill cuttings means bits of rock or soil cut
Drill cuttings means the particles generated by drilling into subsurface geologic formations including cured cement carried out from the wellbore with the drilling fluid. Examples of drill cuttings include small pieces of rock varying in size and texture from fine silt to gravel. Drill cuttings are generally generated from solids control equipment and settle out and accumulate in quiescent areas in the solids control equipment or other equipment processing drilling fluid (i.e., accumulated solids).
Drill cuttings means the solid materials, fragments of rock and other materials brought to the surface during the drilling process.
