oil & gas

Aurora staff have many years experience in working with companies in the oil and gas sectors and have gained extensive knowledge of the radiological protection issues associated with use of radioactive sources in the industry and also the issues related to use of equipment and facilities contaminated with Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material (NORM).

Our particular experience covers all aspects of the oil production process where NORM contamination can present an exposure hazard or if not effectively controlled could result in significant environmental contamination of equipment, land and facilities.

Our experience means that Aurora is well placed to provide practical and pragmatic advice enabling operators to reduce the exposure hazard to staff and oversee the generation of secondary wastes and employ methods which lead to the most cost effective decontamination of plant and facilities. Aurora has experience at oil installations both in the UK and overseas. Currently we provide radiation safety services to one of the largest UK oil and gas companies and customised NORM training courses to the world largest oil producer based in the Middle East.
