The research aims to evaluate the ecological impacts of NORM scale from decommissioned offshore oil and gas infrastructure and develop effective assessment methodologies.
Utilized advanced nuclear and imaging techniques for characterizing NORM-contaminated scale.
Conducted radiological biota dose modeling using MicroShield and ERICA for various decommissioning scenarios.
Performed marine infauna-exposure tests to assess bioaccumulation and organ biodistribution.
Identified significant gaps in understanding the effects of NORM contaminants on marine organisms.
Developed a methodological approach for evaluating the risks of NORM in pipeline decommissioning.
Highlighted the need for a comprehensive NORM inventory to assess contaminant characteristics.
