A method of treating drilling mud with oil-based drilling fluid contains: a mud homogenization step configured to homogenize drilling mud which is solidized mud; a 3-phase cyclone separation step in which water vapors are used as a cleaning agent; a petroleum gas oxidation and combustion step in which the petroleum gas is extracted out of the 3-phase separator by using an oil gas oxidation device, and the petroleum gas is thermal oxidized and combusted; a liquid catalyst extraction step executed in which porous substances and hydrocarbon are extracted out of solid waste by using a microbubble extracting and liquid catalyst; a liquid catalyst recycling step having two-stage molecular distillation means so as to recycle the liquid catalyst to the liquid catalyst extraction step and to eliminate the liquid catalyst from recycled base oil. The mud homogenization step is alternatively executed based on physical condition of the drilling mud.
