  1. Practical experience and implementing occupational radiation protection and training in the oil & gas industry International Conference on Occupational Radiation Protection: Enhancing the Protection of Workers Gaps, Challenges and Developments Vienna, Austria 1 - 5 December 2014

  2. Introduction Natural radiation consists of cosmic radiation and the radiation arising from the decay of naturally occurring radionuclides. The radionuclides identified in oil and gas streams belong to the decay chains of the naturally occurring elemental radionuclides 238 U and 232 Th Uncontrolled activities associated with enhanced levels of Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material (NORM) can contaminate the environment and pose a risk to human health.

  3. Objectives Share Experience achieved by the oil and gas industry in Brazil in implementing occupational radiation protection to meet the recommendations of the International Atomic Energy Agency, (BSS 115 – IAEA 1996) Present Challenges and opportunities yet to overcome by the sector due to NORM presence in its operational activities

  4. NORM formation in the oil and gas industry  The decaying process of these unstable radioactive elements produces progeny radionuclides that can be transported from the reservoir to the surface while oil & gas products are being recovered.  Under certain conditions ( solubility, pressure, temperature, acidity etc.) in the subsurface environment these descendant elements can be more or less mobile  During the production process, NORM flows with the oil, gas and water mixture and accumulates in sludge and scale.

  5. Composition and the Specific Activity  The composition and specific activity on sludge, sediment and scale of oil production vary widely and depend on many operational factors.  activity concentrations of 226 Ra and 228 Ra ► from undetectable levels to more than 1000 Bq/g -1 . ► much higher than the recommended values established ► large amounts of NORM ► potential radiological hazards

  6. Role of NORM Regulators in Brazil “The Study”  The first NORM scale occurrence was noticed in 1988  since then a strong radioprotection partnership Institute of Radiation Protection and Dosimetry (IRD)  conducted survey, sampling and analysis  determine the extension of NORM generation  promote best practices and knowledge concerning radiation protection in the oil and gas industry.  The IRD institute is one of Brazil´s most important center of expertise in radiation protection, dosimetry and metrology of ionizing radiation  IRD activities cover all the areas in which man and environment can be exposed to radiation: power generation, medicine, industry and research.

  7. NORM in the Oil and gas industry in Brazil  Risks can be mitigated by “Safety Culture” ► identify where NORM is present ► control of NORM-contaminated equipment ► control of waste ► measures to protect workers ► measures to protect environment

  8. NORM in the Oil and gas industry in Brazil Typical values of 226 Ra, 228 Ra and 228 Th Scale samples  16.2 to 93.2 kBq.kg -1 for 226 Ra,  4.0 to 36.9 kBq.kg -1 for 228 Ra  4.5 to 18.5 kBq.kg -1 for 228 Th. Sludge samples  0.13 to 331 kBq.kg-1 for 226Ra,  0.10 to 245 kBq.kg-1 for 228 Ra  0.10 to 272 kBq.kg-1 for 228 Th  Measured gamma dose rates inside onshore sludge deposits ranged from 0.2 to 2.0 µSv.h -1 and the same dose measures, when taken on surface of sludge barrels rise up to 0.3 mSv.h -1.

  9. NORM occupational exposure from O&G  current working time per employee - 2000 hours.year -1 on field activities ► no significant radiological impact on workers ► was expected from NORM in oil and gas plants.  potential additional annual dose for individuals ► due to external exposure ► can be higher than 1.0 mSv ► some restrictions can be applied  activity cannot be regarded as exempted ► urgent need for technical guidelines for the sector.  radon levels inside ► since these deposits are well ventilated, ► mean value of 6 Bq.m-3 was measured ► during several working day period  dosimetry ► Due to the maintenance requirements ► operational dynamics of constant removal and cleaning of scale deposits,

  13. #1 - Legislation Oil and Gas Radiation Safety Standards  The O&G companies need experts in every aspect of the technology applied in their industry and frequently, the necessary expertise is provided to the industry by specialized support organizations.  O&G INDUSTRY  Basic Radiation Safety - Environmental Protection - Waste Management  EFFICIENT AND SAFE OPERATIONS

  14. #1 - Legislation Norm management guidelines A strategy for NORM management:  NORM monitoring  Control of NORM contaminated waste  Control of NORM contaminated equipment  Worker protection and training  Development of NORM management guidelines  Compliance monitoring.

  15. #2 - Limits to Workers and Public International Legal Framework Source: UK Government, the Scottish Government, the Welsh Government and the Northern Ireland Department of the Environment. Strategy for the management of Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material (NORM) waste in the United Kingdom: A consultation 13 February 2014 http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Publications/2014/02/8435/downloads URGENT NEED OF HARMONIZED INTERNATIONAL REGULATION

  16. #2 - Limits to Workers and Public Brazilian NORM Regulation - 2014

  17. #3 - Metrics Types of NORM survey  Monitoring is required to ascertain whether NORM is present in a medium.  It can utilize direct measurement instruments to measure the levels of radiation emitted or samples can be collected and sent to a laboratory for radiometric analysis.  In practice, a monitoring programme will usually make use of all available monitoring methods and techniques based on specific requirements

  18. #3 - Metrics Norm survey devices  Field detectors for radiological contamination  Location control technology global positioning system (GPS)  Detection system can be used turned on behind a windshield in a moving vehicle as a radiation detection system Gamma-ray detector based on NaI crystal  Car borne gamma mapping equipment with large NaI(Tl) detectors  Can cover great distances in very short time

  19. #3 - Metrics Norm survey devices  Highly-sensitive detection at a distance of both gamma and neutron sources (1-25) nSv/hr above background gamma  Real time spectrum recording, dose rate calculation and isotope identification, audio alarms if elevated radiation, sound pattern depending of the isotope identified  Integrated GPS positioning Storing spectra and count rates for about 40 hours of scanning
