The data summarized in this report is a compilation of over 36,000 individual observations submitted by a number of participating petroleum companies using similar equipment and collection protocols (see Section VIII). The purpose of the study was 1) to identify the geographic areas of producing and gas processing facilities (gas plants) which have the greatest occurrence of NORM and 2) to identify items of equipment at these facilities which have the highest NORM activity levels.

Results are first reported on a national basis so that the general patterns in background levels and the excess radioactivity over background for both types of facilities can be seen in geographic perspective. NORM activity levels are reported in this study in micro-rems/hr. In addition to geographic studies at the county, state and national level of aggregation, there are also summaries by item of equipment for each state and the total U.S.
