Özet

According to the noteworthy concentration of naturally occurring radioactive material (NORM),
produced water that is considered a damaging waste resulting from the oil extraction process
according to the noteworthy concentration of naturally occurring radioactive material (NORM), is
regularly disposed into nearby areas, resulting in environmental contamination that raises the
possibility of human exposure NORM in various pathways. This paper purposes to provide an
extensive examination of the NORM reported in produced water linked with oilfield activities from
previous reports. The comparison of NORM values in oilfields around the world demonstrates a
vivid understanding of radionuclide behaviors associated with oil extraction operations. The results
illustrate that Radium isotopes are the most radionuclides abundant in produced water, especially
Radium-226, activity concentrations of U-238 and Th-232 were remarkable to be low in the water.
Oil extraction is increasing, leading to more produced water being disposed of, which is a real
concern for human health, so a depth study is recommended to focus on minimization and other
management methods of produced water instead of being disposed of. Furthermore, the NORM
waste and its influence could be minimized by obeying the recommended standard set by IAEA and
other environmental protection agencies.
