Abstract

The development and operation of oil fields in Western Siberia has a significant impact on various components of the environment. In particular, natural complexes of existing specially protected natural areas and promising areas that are significant for the conservation of biological diversity and landscapes are affected. In connection with the projected development of a system of specially protected natural areas in the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug, the aim of the work is to assess the likely pollution of municipalities in the region by emissions from the combustion of associated petroleum gas to provide decision support when choosing locations for promising protected areas. The paper presents a general description of chronic thermal and gas-chemical pollution of the atmosphere by products of associated petroleum gas combustion, zones of probable atmospheric pollution as a result of gas combustion are modeled, an assessment is made of the dynamics of the state of vegetation for the territories of municipalities, within the boundaries of which it is planned to create protected natural areas, and recommendations are given for designing such territories.
