GEOECOLOGICAL PROBLEMS OF TECHNOGENIC INFLUENCE OF THE OIL AND GAS COMPLEX ON THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT AND METHODS OF THEIR SOLUTION

Abstract

The purpose of this work is to analyze the most significant geoecological problems of the technogenic impact of the oil and gas complex on the natural environment and to develop a methodology for their solution

Materials and methods – the article is based on a comprehensive approach to the problems of research, covering scientific sources devoted to the analysis of geoecological problems at the national and international level. To clarify the essence and content of modern geoecological problems of the technogenic impact of the oil and gas complex on the natural environment, generally accepted research methods were used, including: the method of system analysis, the method of quantitative and qualitative analysis, the method of synthesis, as well as the method of formal-logical and theoretical generalization. The use of a sufficient number of different research methods allowed us to achieve the results obtained and come to reasonable conclusions.

Results and discussion. There is no universal solution to the geoecological problems of the technogenic impact of the oil and gas complex on the natural environment, due to the large number of factors affecting the oil and gas complex on geoecology. However, some geoecological problems can be solved through the introduction at the state level of a methodology that establishes the obligation for relevant entities to use technological solutions aimed at reducing the anthropogenic impact of oil and gas facilities.

Conclusions. The corresponding methodology should be based on remote sensing technology based on satellite imagery data, which allows the identification of geological structures, as well as various types of relief and drainage structures without the need for drilling operations.
