NORM occurs in geological formations and TENORM can be created by industrial activity. Examples of industries that may be of concern include Oil & Gas and 18 Oct 2016 Some industries may regularly come into contact with NORM – for instance, those engaged in the production of oil and gas, phosphate 4 Mar 1999 and gas production facilities. This paper describes different disposal alternatives of NORM waste from the oil and gas industry. The discussion ough evaluation of the industry NORM survey data by the appropriate State agencies to verify the extent of oil and gas field NORM in California. Subsequent to 27 Feb 2015 Who regulates NORM in oil & gas fields? In the United States, the regulatory authority for NORM/TENORM lies largely with the States, not the NIOSH Field Effort to Assess Chemical Exposure Risks to Gas and Oil Workers. Describes the potential for oil and gas worker exposure to NORM during pipe oil extraction, which is a well-known NORM (Naturally Occurring Radioactive radioactivity levels of scale generated as a result of oil and gas production in Omar M, Ali HM, Abu MP (2004) Distribution of radium in oil and gas industry

NORM might be released from oil and gas formations. Workers at risk of exposure include those who handle pipes and equipment that might have been contaminated with NORM. Sludge, drilling mud, and pipe scales, for example, often contain elevated levels of NORM, and the radioactive materials might be moved from site to site as equipment and NORM in the Oil/Gas Industry NORM from Cradle to Grave October2016 GeJo(TE)NORM 1 Gert Jonkers G.Jonkers5@UPCmail.com Independent Consultant tel+31 6 45576045 The benefits of shared knowledge, best practice, and experience across the oil and gas industry are seen as key to the establishment of common guidance. This paper outlines Saudi Aramco's experience in the development of a NORM management strategy, and its goals of establishing common guidance throughout the oil and gas industry. During the production of oil and gas, naturally occurring radioactive materials (NORM) from the 232 Th and 238 U series can be concentrated and accumulated in tubing and surface equipment in the radioactivity in shipments of oil-field pipe. Since that time the oil and gas industry has sought to better define the extent of the oil-field NORM problem, and to develop techniques for the prediction, prevention, remediation, and disposal of oil-field NORM. In parallel efforts, State and Federal regulatory agencies have worked Radioactive scale in the oil and gas industry has been reported in the literature. 5 6 With the notable exception of a 1975 report by Gesell,7 NORM contamination of gas facilities by radon and its A growing EHS presence within the oil and gas industry is leading to an increased need for risk and safety professionals. Specifically, greater supervision must occur in offshore oil and natural gas drilling sites in order to prevent environmental and safety incidents.
It has been established that naturally occurring radioactive material (NORM) may accumulate at various locations along the oil and gas production process.

The Bakken/Three Forks is the largest oil field (in square miles) in the levels of organic material that converts to oil and natural gas under the proper The oil and gas industry (production); Metal mining and smelting; Mineral sands ( rare earth minerals, Petroleum industry NORMs are mainly scale, sludge and sand. In gas plant components, where only natural gas and/or its fractions are present, NORM occurs on 6 days ago NORM waste typically is produced by an industrial, mining, the exploration and production of oil and gas (RRC rules for NORM Exit the TCEQ ) Industry track record. Naturally occurring radioactive material (NORM) can be transported with production fluids to oil and gas production facilities, where it
NORM management strategy and its goals of establishing common guidance throughout the oil and gas industry. 1. Introduction Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material (NORM) is a by-product waste of oil production and its presence in pipelines, plant and machinery may cause restriction of operability and potential radiological health hazards [1].
Radioactive scale in the oil and gas industry has been reported in the literature. 5 6 With the notable exception of a 1975 report by Gesell,7 NORM contamination of gas facilities by radon and its A growing EHS presence within the oil and gas industry is leading to an increased need for risk and safety professionals. Specifically, greater supervision must occur in offshore oil and natural gas drilling sites in order to prevent environmental and safety incidents.

5 Dec 2019 NORM chemistries developed with selective extractants designed to completely occurring radioactive material) problem is the petroleum industry. The radionuclides identified in oil and gas streams belong to the decay Other factors that influence NORM levels in pipeline scale include how much of the radon ends up in the scale, and the time taken for gas to transit from field to
