Abstract

According to Koblov (1977) and others of the Sakhalin Oil and Gas Research Institute, underground deposits of oil and natural gas in the Russian Far East stretch from the east and west coasts of Sakhalin and the area offshore of Magadan to the west coast of the Kamchatka peninsula and to the Bering Sea. Should an accident involving a spill of crude oil or other effluents occur during the development of the oil and natural gas deposits that is currently under way off the eastern coast of northern Sakhalin, it can be expected to have an impact on the environment and economy of the Hokkaido's Okhotsk Sea and Pacific Ocean coast. This report describes these concerns about the environmental and economical impacts on Hokkaido's coastal areas from problems that may occur from the development of Sakhalin's offshore oil and natural gas.
