Title: An Overview Of Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials In The Natural Gas Industry

Abstract: Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials (NORM) are present in natural gas production, and, although potentially hazardous to the health and environment, NORM contamination is controllable. Naturally occurring radionuclides are widespread in nature. Ionizing radiation is present in the environment from the atmosphere as well as from many geologic formations that may contain radioactive elements such as uranium, radium, and radon. When these elements are present in oil and gas producing formations, traces of these materials are produced also. Over the life of the production, radioactive elements and their decay daughters are deposited in pipes, vessels and equipment.
