Abstract
A significant risk faced by oil pipeline companies in operation of main pipeline transport facilities is violation by third parties of the regime of protected zones and minimum distances to oil pipelines and petroleum product pipelines (collectively referred to as “oil pipelines”). No regulations establishing the legal regime of protected zones and minimum distance zones have been adopted yet. Absence of any regulations triggers law enforcement problems including origination of court disputes. This paper studies the main provisions on protected zones and minimum distances within the framework of their impact on the security of operation of main oil pipelines, life and health of people, analyzes concepts and regimes of the protected zone and minimum distances from the standpoint of the goal of their introduction, brings forward recommendations and proposals for minimization of legal risks.
