Oxy was approved for an air permit by Texas Commission on Environmental Quality for a new mud plant located in Odessa. A mud plant is used to manipulate (mix, dilute, treat, adjust) various drilling fluids to be used in wells supported by this Supply Base. You can also find expanded drilling waste management (DWM) processing here, typically in the form of centrifuges used to treat used mud that has been back loaded to the supply base.
