Naturally occurring radioactive materials, NORM, in oil and gas production includes hard and porous deposits (scales or sludges) in tubulars and different types of topside equipment as well as condensates extracted as liquids from natural gas. The activity concentrations of 226 Ra and 228 Ra in scales and sludges covers a broad range; from normal levels in soils and rocks (less than 1 Bq/g) up to more than 1000 Bq/g. Generally, the activity concentrations are lower in porous deposits and sludges than in scales. The activity concentration of 210 Pb is relatively low in hard deposits but may reach levels of thousands of Bq/g in sludges and in the very thin layers found in gas production. Huge amounts of NORM waste exceeding the exemption level of 10 Bq/g of 226 Ra and 228 Ra are generated as a result of both onsite and offsite decontamination of tubulars and different types of topside equipment. Onsite decontamination is the preferred option when
