Abstract

The article discusses issues related to the influence of changes in the frequency, intensity and duration of extreme meteorological events on the objects of the oil and gas industry. Climate indices recommended by World Meteorological Organization (WMO) are used as characteristics of the extreme events. The possibilities of using climatic indices for identifying physical risks applicable to the objects of the oil and gas industry are demonstrated. The features of the spatiotemporal variability of climatic indices are considered and the geographical regions of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) are identified as the most and least vulnerable to changes in the extreme characteristics of the climate. The results obtained can be used both at the level of individual enterprises and facilities of the oil and gas industry, and in the development of regulations common for the industry.
