Offshore radiometric surveys for identification of NORM deposits

NORM (Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material) is commonly found in the seabed rock formations and oil wells. Due to the oil extraction process, this radioactive material is carried along with produced oil and water, reaching the surface and going through the entire production process on an offshore unit. In order to identify these places with NORM deposits and to guarantee the radiological protection for offshore workers, a complete radiometric survey is necessary in all areas related to where there is oil and produced water.
