A method for remediating cuttings from a wellbore has been invented which, in certain aspects, includes transporting a system for remediating the cuttings to an offshore rig in transportable containers, the system including a thermal treatment system and a condensing system; feeding a slurry of the cuttings with oil an d water to the thermal treatment system and heating the cuttings therein producing heat ed cuttings an a stream with oil and water; discharging the heated cuttings from the thermal treatment; feeding the stream with oil and water to a condenser system producing a liquid stream; and feeding the liquid stream to an oil/water separator producing an oil stream and a water stream. In another method for remediating cuttings according to the present invention, the method includes feeding a slurry of the cuttings with oil, fine particulates, and water to a thermal treatment system and heating the cuttin gs therein producing heated cuttings and a stream with oil and water, discharging the heated cuttings from the thermal treatment, feeding the stream with oil and water t o the filter system, filtering out fine particulates from the stream with oil and water, feeding the stream with oil and water to a condenser system producing a liquid stream, a nd feeding the liquid stream to an oil/waterseparator producing an oil stream and a water stream.
