Abstract |
|
|
| The oil and gas industry are one of the industries that exposed workers are at risk of radioactive materials concentrated by the industry, as it accompanies radioactive materials natural oil extracted from the ground, to be placed on the interior walls of pipes transporting oil and stores the chapter or stores stored, these depositions are Scale or Sludge.
Surveys were conducted for evaluations of radioactivity levels in this area at different parts of Sudan where the production and exploration of oil is conducted. A set of 29 samples was collected from two areas: 12 samples from the refinery AL-jaily and 17 samples from the area of Heglig and the neighboring areas. The levels of natural radioactivity varied with uranium concentration taking values between 188 - 250 (Bq/Kg) in Al-jelly refinery and 80-25200 (Bq/Kg) in the Heglig area. Neighboring regions results showed relatively higher uranium concentrations in the areas of oil exploration and drilling and also in oil filter samples.
