Abstract
Ionizing radiation offers unique opportunities for addressing critical challenges in the oil industry, including efficient hydrocarbon processing and environmental remediation. This review highlights the diverse applications of ionizing radiation in oil-related processes, such as cracking, polymerization, desulfurization, and the treatment of oilfield-produced wastewater. By synthesizing findings from recent studies, this paper emphasizes the advantages of radiation technologies in enhancing process efficiency, reducing environmental impact, and supporting sustainable energy production. The necessity of this review lies in bridging knowledge gaps, identifying emerging trends, and fostering the broader adoption of advanced radiation-based technologies in the oil sector.
