Oil and gas - Service by Radiation Professionals

Before We Get Started, Some Background Information

The geologic formations that contain oil and gas deposits also contain naturally-occurring radionuclides, which are referred to as "NORM" (Naturally-Occurring Radioactive Materials):

Uranium (and its decay products)
Thorium (and its decay products)
Radium (and its decay products)
Lead-210.



Geologists have recognized their presence since the early 1930s and use it as a method for finding deposits.
Much of the petroleum in the earth's crust was created at the site of ancient seas by the decay of sea life. As a result, petroleum deposits often occur in aquifers containing brine (salt water). Radionuclides, along with other minerals that are dissolved in brine, precipitate (separate and settle) out forming various wastes at the surface:

Mineral scales inside pipes
Sludge's
Contaminated equipment or components
Produced waters.

Management service by radiation professionals

The first step towards good Radiation Safety Practices is to develop and set into place the company's Radiation Management Plan.

An RMP is also a regulatory requirement for most activities involving radioactive sources and substances. Radiation Professionals will help your company put into place your RMP.

Your RMP will cover areas such as:
Company and site details
Personnel radiation monitoring
Storage and Disposal of radioactive material
Decontamination of equipment
Training of Personnel and Reporting to regulators and
Site radiological rehabilitation.
An RMP consultation will include:

Overview of legal aspects and requirements of a Radiation management Plan

Information on monitoring procedures and guidelines
(After generation of RMP) Implementation of your projects RMP
After your RMP consultation Radiation Professionals will generate an RMP for each project that you have that is becoming active.

NORM – Oil & gas service by radiation professionals

The Little Mistake That Can Hurt Your Operation and the 5 Things You Can Do About It.

Before We Get Started, Some Background Information
The geologic formations that contain oil and gas deposits also contain naturally-occurring radionuclides, which are referred to as "NORM" (Naturally-Occurring Radioactive Materials):

uranium (and its decay products)

Much of the petroleum in the earth's crust was created at the site of ancient seas by the decay of sea life. As a result, petroleum deposits often occur in aquifers containing brine (salt water).
Radionuclides, along with other minerals that are dissolved in the brine, precipitate (separate and settle) out forming various wastes at the surface:
mineral scales inside pipes

sludges
contaminated equipment or components
produced waters.

Because the extraction process concentrates the naturally occurring radionuclides and exposes them to the surface environment and human contact, these wastes are classified as NORM.
