This work presents new results of physical and chemical analysis of samples from contaminated areas of the Absheron field. The advantages and disadvantages of the used and traditional methods of cleaning oil waste are shown. Modern methods have been used to determine the characteristics of oil sludge samples from the Balakhany, Ramana, Surakhany, Bibiheybet fields of the Absheron Peninsula: oil sludge composition, viscosity, density, water content, chemical composition, temperature, cutting size, toxicity, volume, pH level, turbidity, BOD (biological oxygen demand), TDS (total dissolved solids). The main properties of oil sludge from the fields of the Absheron Peninsula are analyzed and compared. Chromatographic analysis (Agilent 7820A GC) allowed us to separate the oil waste and mixtures of the studied samples into individual compounds and components. The separation and determination of the components of the waste mixture by gas chromatography consisted of three stages: 1) Introduction of the sample into the chromatograph, 2) Separation of the sample into individual components, 3) Determination of the compounds contained in the sample. An inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (Agilent 7500 cs) with reaction cell was used for the efficient determination of trace heavy metals in petroleum waste. The ion lens unit used in the Agilent 7500cs provided high sensitivity measurements. Thus, trace metals were detected in the samples. A vacuum distiller (Retort Oil and Water Kit RROW-50) was used to quantify liquid and solids in drilling mud. Comparison of our oil sludge analysis results with field data demonstrates the effectiveness of these methods in identifying the composition of oil sludge for obtaining target products. From the studied wastes of the oil industry, it is possible to obtain special additives and use them, for example, for asphalt concrete. The dependences of oil sludge evaporation (of the Balakhany, Ramana, Surakhany, Bibieybet deposits) on air temperature and thermal resistance of the waterproofing material of the oil storage facility have been studied. The evaporation of components also depends on the concentration of oil sludge. Based on our sample analyses, it has been shown that the combined use of physicochemical and chemical methods makes it possible to purify oil sludge to acceptable limits. The dependences of oil evaporation on air temperature and the thermal resistance of the waterproofing material of an oil tank on the concentration of oil sludge have been established.
