In oil and gas operations—ranging from exploration and production to refining—Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials (NORM) can accumulate in scales, sludges, produced water, and equipment. Though these materials originate from natural geological sources, their concentration during industrial processes can elevate them to hazardous levels, posing serious health, safety, and environmental challenges. NORM is commonly encountered in upstream drilling sites, pipelines, separators, and downstream infrastructure such as refineries and storage terminals.
With increasing regulatory scrutiny and a growing emphasis on worker safety, a thorough understanding of NORM and its safe management is essential. The Radiation Safety & NORM Management in Upstream and Downstream Oil & Gas training course provides oil and gas professionals with comprehensive knowledge of radiation safety practices specific to the industry. Participants will learn how to identify, monitor, assess, handle, transport, and dispose of NORM in accordance with international standards and local regulations. The course empowers attendees to implement effective radiation protection measures, reduce operational risk, and foster a proactive safety culture throughout all stages of oil and gas activities.
