Oil and Gas

Sectors

Within the Oil and Gas sector, there are several activities involving ionising radiations/radioactive substances which may occur in both onshore and offshore oil and gas industry facilities which are subject to regulatory control including:

Well Logging.
Installed Gauges used for process control.
Industrial Radiography and other forms of NDT.
Use of radiotracers.
NORM (Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material) – access to working areas with NORM, decontamination of NORM contaminated equipment/plant and assessment, management and disposal of NORM related wastes.

At L2, we have a number of UK and international clients who operate in both the upstream and downstream Oil and Gas Industry. We use our experience in this varied sector to inform our advice and ensure that the radiation protection measures put in place are effective and compliant.
