An overview of operational and occupational safety in onshore and offshore oil and gas extraction and production processes

Concentrations of TENORMs in the petroleum industry and their environmental and health effects

“…Overall, when comparing studies done to measure TENORMs in the oil and gas industries with global liquid fuel production per day, we find that there are large amounts of waste likely to contain radioactive materials, which are traditionally disposed of in the environment. 267,268 All onshore and offshore drilling activities are extremely risky and have a serious potential to harm people, cause environmental damage or loss of assets, and negatively impact industry reputation. For this reason, many researchers have taken the initiative to find safe ways to get rid of the tumor in the oil and gas industries.…”
