Abstract: This paper mainly investigated two typical oil and gas fields of Gobi type and desert type, and the investigation content was the comparative analysis of NORM nuclide content in oil and gas field crude oil, oil slime, waste water and waste residue at the end of treatment process. The investigation results showed that the radioactive level in oil slime samples and soil to be recycled after treatment in some oil fields was relatively high. The results of this investigation can provide a reference for evaluating the environmental impact of NORM emissions in the oil and gas industry.
