Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials (NORM) is a common and costly contaminant of produced waters associated with natural gas production and exploration. One way of combating this problem is by identifying the problem beforehand. Our approach to this problem involves development of NORM prediction capabilities based on the geological environment. During quarter fourteen of this project, work has continued under the recently approved revisions. We continue to be in the final stages of sample acquisition from sampling sites
