In oil and gas operations—from exploration and production to refining and storage—Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials (NORM) can accumulate in scales, sludges, produced water, and industrial equipment. While these radioactive materials originate naturally, their concentration during petroleum operations can reach hazardous levels, creating significant health, safety, and environmental risks. NORM is commonly encountered in upstream drilling sites, pipelines, separators, and downstream facilities, including refineries and storage terminals.
The Radiation Safety & NORM Management in Upstream and Downstream Oil & Gas training course equips participants with the knowledge and skills to identify, assess, monitor, and manage radiological hazards effectively. Participants will learn practical strategies to safely handle NORM-contaminated equipment, waste, and facilities while complying with international standards and local regulations.
Through interactive lectures, case studies, and hands-on exercises, this course emphasizes the implementation of radiation protection measures, regulatory compliance, and a proactive safety culture. Delegates will gain the tools needed to minimize operational risks, protect personnel and assets, and foster environmental stewardship throughout all stages of oil and gas operations.
Key Focus Areas of this Course:
This training course is designed to empower oil and gas professionals with the expertise to manage NORM safely and integrate radiation safety into operational practices. Participants will gain the skills to reduce exposure risks and maintain compliance across upstream and downstream operations.
By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:
This training course is ideal for professionals working in petroleum operations, HSE management, and regulatory compliance who are responsible for radiation safety and operational risk management.
