Evaluations of Radionuclides of Uranium, Thorium, and Radium Associated With Produced Fluids, Precipitates, and Sludges From Oil, Gas, and Oilfield Brine Injection Wells in Mississippi: Final Report

Naturally occurring radioactive materials (NORM) are known to be produced as a byproduct of hydrocarbon production in Mississippi. The presence of NORM has resulted in financial losses to the industry and continues to be a liability as the NORM-enriched scales and scale encrusted equipment is typically stored rather than disposed of. Although the NORM problem is well known, there is little publically available data characterizing the hazard. This investigation has produced base line data to fill this informational gap. A total of 329 NORM-related samples were collected with 275 of these samples consisting of brine samples. The samples were derived from 37 oil and gas reservoirs from all major producing areas of the state. The analyses of these data indicate that two isotopes of radium ({sup 226}Ra and {sup 228}Ra) are the ultimate source of the radiation. The radium contained in these co-produced brines is low and so the radiation hazard posed by the brines is also low. Existing regulations dictate the manner in which these salt-enriched brines may be disposed of and proper implementation of the rules will also protect the environment from the brine radiation hazard. Geostatistical analyses of the brine components suggest relationships between the concentrations of …

Chemical and Radiochemical Data for Domestic Supply Wells and Surface-Water Samples in the Vicinity of Tatum Salt Dome, Lamar County, Mississippi. (open access)

Chemical and Radiochemical Data for Domestic Supply Wells and Surface-Water Samples in the Vicinity of Tatum Salt Dome, Lamar County, Mississippi.

Ground-water and surface-water samples collected in the vicinity of Tatum salt dome, Mississippi, a U.S. Atomic Energy Commission project test site, has been analyzed by the U.S. Geological Survey as part of the evaluation program after the Salmon Event. Samples were collected from wells of all types of construction and at distances of 1 to 5 miles from the dome.
