Abstract
Preventing regional social and environmental conflicts during oil pipeline construction projects
Highlights
Oil production in underdeveloped areas of the world, including such areas in Russia, inevitably causes adverse environmental impact, destruction of animal migration routes, deterioration of hunting lands, and depletion of fish populations in rivers (Guri et al 2013)
Expenditure in construction; operating expenses; economic estimates of potential environmental damage caused by accidents on the pipeline (Nriagu et al 2016); compensations to local population in the area of pipeline construction to eliminate socio-environmental conflicts; implementation costs of compensatory project to accommodate local interests (O’Faircheallaigh 2009; Shvetsova et al 2018)
As long as several options may be available for planning solutions in field pipeline construction, the choice of the best option should include a solution of the problem of minimizing the total project costs of oil transportation, i.e., the problem of identifying the optimum pipeline route
Summary
Oil production in underdeveloped areas of the world, including such areas in Russia, inevitably causes adverse environmental impact, destruction of animal migration routes, deterioration of hunting lands, and depletion of fish populations in rivers (Guri et al 2013). Route planning options for building such pipelines should take into account the following factors: capital expenditure in construction; operating expenses; economic estimates of potential environmental damage caused by accidents on the pipeline (Nriagu et al 2016); compensations to local population in the area of pipeline construction to eliminate socio-environmental conflicts; implementation costs of compensatory project to accommodate local interests (O’Faircheallaigh 2009; Shvetsova et al 2018). As long as several options may be available for planning solutions in field pipeline construction, the choice of the best option should include a solution of the problem of minimizing the total project costs of oil transportation, i.e., the problem of identifying the optimum pipeline route
