A tubing tray is provided for use with a pipe mat tray for receiving, organizing and storing drill pipe tripped out of a drill string on a drilling rig, the tubing tray having a planar bottom member, an orthogonal sidewall extending upwardly from the perimeter of the bottom member to form a basin for receiving the pipe mat, a chamfered sidewall extending upwardly and outwardly from the sidewall to provide clearance for a tool joint on a drill pipe placed on the pipe mat, and a handle extending around a top edge of the chamfered sidewall, the handle having a downwardly extending lip forming a finder hold thereunder. The tray can further include spikes extending downwardly from a lower surface of the bottom member, and a slot disposed through opposing lips of the handle allowing two or more tubing trays to be fastened together in a side by side configuration.

1. A tubing tray for use with a pipe mat for receiving, organizing and storing drill pipe tripped out of a drill string on a drilling rig, the tubing tray comprising: a) a substantially planar bottom member further comprising an upper surface, a lower surface and a perimeter edge extending around a perimeter of the bottom member;b) a sidewall extending upwardly from the perimeter edge along the perimeter, the sidewall substantially orthogonal to the bottom member thereby defining a basin therein, the basin configured to receive a pipe mat placed therein, the sidewall further comprising an upper edge thereon;c) a chamfered sidewall extending upwardly and outwardly from the upper edge of the sidewall to define a seam therebetween, the chamfered sidewall extending along the seam, the chamfered sidewall further comprising a top edge thereon, wherein the combination of the sidewall and the chamfered sidewall are configured to provide clearance for a tool joint disposed on an end of the drill pipe placed on the pipe mat; andd) a handle extending along the top edge of the chamfered sidewall, the handle further comprising a downwardly extending lip disposed therealong thereby forming a finger hold disposed thereunder. 2. The tubing tray as set forth in claim 1, wherein the bottom member comprises a rectangular shape. 3. The tubing tray as set forth in claim 1, further comprising a slot extending through the lip, the slot configured to receive a fastener passed therethrough, the fastener configured to pass through the slot of a second tubing tray wherein the tubing tray and the second tubing tray can be fastened together with the fastener. 4. The tubing tray as set forth in claim 3, further comprising a second slot extending through the lip on an opposing side of the tubing tray wherein a plurality of tubing trays can be fastened together in a side by side configuration. 5. The tubing tray as set forth in claim 1, further comprising a plurality of spikes disposed on the lower surface of the bottom member extending downwardly therefrom. 6. The tubing tray as set forth in claim 5, wherein at least one spike comprises a rectangular shape or a trapezoidal cross-sectional shape that tapers or narrows in width as the at least one spike extends from the lower surface. 7. The tubing tray as set forth in claim 5, wherein the plurality of spikes are configured into at least one L-shaped configuration disposed near a corner of the lower surface. 8. The tubing tray as set forth in claim 5, wherein the plurality of spikes are configured into an X-shaped configuration disposed near a center of the lower surface. 9. A method for collecting fluids draining from drill pipe tripped out of a drill string on a drilling rig, the method comprising the steps of: a) providing a tubing tray for use with a pipe mat for receiving, organizing and storing drill pipe tripped out of a drill string on a drilling rig, the tubing tray comprising: i) a substantially planar bottom member further comprising an upper surface, a lower surface and a perimeter edge extending around a perimeter of the bottom member,ii) a sidewall extending upwardly from the perimeter edge along the perimeter, the sidewall substantially orthogonal to the bottom member thereby defining a basin therein, the basin configured to receive a pipe mat placed therein, the sidewall further comprising an upper edge thereon,iii) a chamfered sidewall extending upwardly and outwardly from the upper edge of the sidewall to define a seam therebetween, the chamfered sidewall extending along the seam, the chamfered sidewall further comprising a top edge thereon, wherein the combination of the sidewall and the chamfered sidewall are configured to provide clearance for a tool joint disposed on an end of the drill pipe placed on the pipe mat, andiv) a handle extending along the top edge of the chamfered sidewall, the handle further comprising a downwardly extending lip disposed therealong thereby forming a finger hold disposed thereunder;b) placing the pipe mat into the tubing tray; andc) placing an end of a drill pipe tripped out of the drill string onto a pipe nub disposed on the pipe mat, wherein fluids disposed within the drill pipe can drain from the drill pipe through openings extending through the pipe mat and collect in the tubing tray. 10. The method as set forth in claim 9, wherein the bottom member comprises a rectangular shape. 11. The method as set forth in claim 9, wherein the tubing tray further comprises a slot extending through the lip, the slot configured to receive a fastener passed therethrough, the fastener configured to pass through the slot of a second tubing tray wherein the tubing tray and the second tubing tray can be fastened together with the fastener. 12. The method as set forth in claim 11, wherein the tubing tray further comprises a second slot extending through the lip on an opposing side of the tubing tray wherein a plurality of tubing trays can be fastened together in a side by side configuration. 13. The method as set forth in claim 9, wherein the tubing tray further comprises a plurality of spikes disposed on the lower surface of the bottom member extending downwardly therefrom. 14. The method as set forth in claim 13, wherein at least one spike comprises a rectangular shape or a trapezoidal cross-sectional shape that tapers or narrows in width as the at least one spike extends from the lower surface. 15. The method as set forth in claim 13, wherein the plurality of spikes are configured into at least one L-shaped configuration disposed near a corner of the lower surface. 16. The method as set forth in claim 13, wherein the plurality of spikes are configured into an X-shaped configuration disposed near a center of the lower surface.
