Uncontrolled disposal of produced water from oil and gas industry in the environment involves the environmental hazard like contamination soil by NORM and increase the radiation exposure to terrestrial gamma radiation by workers and public. the study aims to measure radiation levels in the drainage zone and vicinity in the field of crude oil storage tanks in the site of Syrian company for oil transport in Banyas. Terrestrial gamma radiation dose was measured, the values ranged between 0.02 – 0.24 μSv.h-1. The radioactivity concentrations of NORM were determined for Ra226, Th232, K40 by gamma spectroscopy using HPGe detector in surface soil samples taken from three sites, two of them recorded the highest rate of radiation dose, while the third recorded the rate of radiation background. The Ra226, K40, Th232highestconcentrations in the soil samples were found to be 210, 213 and 55.9 Bq.kg-1, respectively. Radiation indexes were estimated. The present results were compared with results published in different countries.

In this research study the effect of the type of corrosion protection, on the rates of Carbon Steel samples from the same metal tube oil buried in soil and comparing between corrosion rates of samples steel non protected and corrosion rates protected samples in different protections ways, protection paint epoxy, protection paint epoxy and polyethylene and Cathodic protection by sacrifice anode (Zinc was chosen as anode sacrifice) and Cathodic protection impressed current. The samples protected and non-protected study's in the middle of corrosion of two sites of Homs soil (soil city of Homs –soil of Furqlus area) In each soil alone and the statement of the effectiveness of the Cathodic protection in increase the protection and then the comparison between the two Cathodic protection to reduce the corrosion rate was also study the effect of humidity and time on the corrosion samples steel is protected and samples steel Cathodic protected rates by anode sacrifice and was finally comparison between rates corrosion between the signatories studied soils (soil city of Homs - soil of Furqlus area) and whichever is more aggressive and study the factors that have made the soil more Furqlus hostile soil of the city of Homs, prompting us to both soils analysis and study results.
The aim of this study is to highlight the potential use of marine algae as well as polypropylene for the removal of crude oil from surface seawater. The determination of optimal sorption time and sorption capacity of the materials in oil/water bath and oil bath without water in presence of three oils of different viscosity were investigated. The capacity of oil removal from seawater was related to structure and surface properties as well as oil amount and oil properties especially, its viscosity. The results revealed that the extension of absorption time does not influence absorption capacity of the examined sorbents in presence of both oils of low and middle viscosity (LV and MV). Nevertheless, the sorption capacity was increased by extending the absorption time to 30 min. For high viscose oil (HV). The sorption capabilities of Enteromorpha exceeded those observed for all of the other algae, while polypropylene fiber showed the highest capacity. Overall, the sorption capacity of the studied sorbents increased with increasing oil viscosity. The absorption capacities of studied materials in the oil bath and oil/water bath were comparable. The results suggested that substitution of synthetic oil sorbents used in Syria by marine algae is possible in oil removal, which have relatively high sorption capacity.
The research includes an analytical study of long term pumping test with observation wells to get the optimum determination of the most important hydrogeological parameters of confined aquifer in Banyas, by pumping from a well with average pumping rate 10104m3/day for 36 hours and only 5 hours of complete recovery groundwater level. This test is accompanied by measuring the variations of the groundwater levels in the monitoring wells. Analytical methods of steady- unsteady of groundwater flow are used to evaluate the long term pumping test, and then to determine the optimum evaluation. The Transmissivity of the confined aquifer is about 5000 m2/day (very high potential), and the storage coefficient is 1,8.10-4. Then they used to predict the groundwater drawdown during one day. So, we can get 20000 m3/day from the aquifer and the drawdown not more than 1,75 m as quasi-steady drawdown at distance 500 m from the pumping well.
Zeolite bearing deposits were characterized in Banyas region using sample A (which is a powdered mixture taken from five tuff and tuffite levels) compared with sample B (which is taken from Basatin Al-Assad site within the studied region). XRD met hod showed several zeolite phases in addition to non-zeolite minerals and volcanic glass. FTIR method revealed a general feature of zeolite groups. DTA method showed a range within zeolite structure stability. Specific surface area was measured using BET method giving the value 87m2/g. The range of pore volume distribution was also calculated with ~40Ǻ, and intermediate pore diameter of ~23Ǻ. XRD study of the standard sample (B) showed slightly different zeolite phases from A. FTIR measurement showed same results as in A. DTA plots revealed a high stability of sample B, SBET of 61m2/g, VP around 40Ǻ and r- at ~25Ǻ.
In this research we improve the desalting process by determine the perfect value of demulsifier and washing water flow rate , reducing the salts concentration of separated water current going to first stage desalting and increasing residence time of oil into desalter according to the characteristic of oil and the process condition.
