When I worked offshore we started shipping all the drilling "waste"
ashore. This consisted of ground up rock from drilling wells and oil
which is used as a drilling lubricant and a hydrostatic plug to stop
the gas coming up.
Once ashore this waste was treated, all the oil removed and recycled
leaving clean ground rock. We tried to GIVE this material to the local
council to resurface footpaths etc. but the government wanted to charge
us for disposing of waste.
