API PUBL 4711 pdf download.Methods for Determining Inputs to Environmental Petroleum Hydrocarbon Mobility and Recovery Models 3.1 Sample Collection Analysis of product properties begins with obtaining representative product samples. Typically this is accomplished by bailing free product from monitoring wells or collecting samples from active free-product recovery systems. Samples should be collected from a sufficient number of points to characterize...

API PUBL 4709 pdf download.Risk-Based Methodologies for Evaluating Petroleum Hydrocarbon Impacts at Oil and Natural Gas E&P Sites The concentrations of both metals and PAHs in crude oil are not sufficiently high to require TPH RBSLs below those that were deter- mined based upon non-cancer health effects. For example, the lowest (i.e., most restrictive) non-residential TPH RBSL for crude oil,...
