Abstract

The article highlights the problems of the negative impact of oil and gas facilities on the environment Northern territories this necessitates the development of measures for the greening of land use based on the results of an environmental impact assessment and decision-making to minimize or eliminate them. The article presents the results of the environmental impact assessment of oil and gas facilities, zoning is conducted by the degree of impact and criteria for the degree of impact are defined. The results of the environmental impact assessment made it possible to assess the degree of anthropogenic impact of the study object and to develop recommendations for reducing adverse industrial effects in order to protect the environment.

Highlights

  • With the growth of energy consumption, the extraction of hydrocarbons and the number of developed fields increase, which leads to an increased anthropogenic impact on the environment

  • The anthropogenic impact on the environment leads to severe environmental effects at the ecosystem, biosphere and population-species levels

  • Scientific research and practice have shown that one of the tools for preventing and minimizing damage from oil and gas facilities is the environmental impact assessment procedure, as a process aimed at the timely identification of potential problems for further assessment of economic feasibility and the degree of environmental impact, as an activity for identifying, analyzing and accounting for direct and indirect effects of the environmental impact

Summary

Introduction

With the growth of energy consumption, the extraction of hydrocarbons and the number of developed fields increase, which leads to an increased anthropogenic impact on the environment. The anthropogenic impact on the environment leads to severe environmental effects at the ecosystem, biosphere and population-species levels. Due to the presence of huge hydrocarbon reserves, harsh climatic conditions, and, as a result, slow natural recovery processes, the Northern territories of the Russian Federation were more susceptible to the man-made impact from oil and gas facilities.
