The analysis of the existing practice of main pipelines construction and operation proves the necessity of accounting for the risk of activation and development of dangerous geological processes both in the construction zone and in the adjacent territory. The paper examines the factors that influence the development of erosion processes along the main pipeline route both during construction and during its operation. The engineering measures are analyzed and the methods which could decrease the erosion negative effect, applied for main types of erosive violations characteristic of the main pipeline routes. Recommendations are proposed to reduce the negative impact of erosion process activation the implementation of which provides for the soil protection and the integrity of the main pipeline, to prevent the occurrence of an accident and a negative impact on the environmental environment of the region.

 

Keywords: trunk pipelines; accidents; oil spill; environment; soil and plant complex; scale of pollution; reclamation.

Currently, the probability of an occupational disease ocurrence among employees of the oil and gas complex (OGC) cannot be completely excluded, despite the development and improvement of measures to improve working conditions and reduce the risk of harm to health. The paper shows that among the harmful production factors noise is one of the leading ones for many types of economic activity. It is noted that the "sensorineural hearing loss" diagnosis is associated with an excessive level of industrial noise takes the first place in the structure of occupational diseases of workers in the Russian Federation, including the oil and gas complex. It is concluded that since occupational diseases are one of the components of the high level of disability and mortality of the working-age population, the deterioration in the quality of labor resources has a direct impact on the quality of life of citizens and the economic development of the country. The urgency of further studying the impact of such harmful production factor as noise on oil and gas complex workers and the development of proposals for reducing the level of its impact is stressed.

 

Keywords: occupational diseases; industrial noise; sensorineural hearing loss; gas transportation enterprises; noise-insulating materials.

In the Azov and Black Seas, Zostera marina and Zostera noltei sea grasses form communities with a biomass from 1 to 6 kg/m2. Observations of seagrass communities on the Chushka Spit in the Kerch Strait have shown that communities with the participation of Zostera marina are more vulnerable to chronic oil pollution, they disappear at a concentration of oil in water of 1 mg/l; plant communities with the participation of Zostera noltei can develop at a concentration of oil in sea water of up to 10 mg/l. The resistance of coastal aquatic plants and macrophytes of the Sea of Azov to possible oil spills was assesed. The risks for underwater communities with the participation of sea grasses in case of probable oil spills remain, especially against the background of global warming and possible invasions of alien organisms.

 

Keywords: sea grasses; Zostera marina; Zostera noltei; Sea of Azov; Black Sea; oil pollution.

Oil pollution remains one of the prior contaminators of the marine environment. This is relevant for the Black Sea, which undergoes a significant anthropogenic pressure. The ecological conditions of the coastal zone are specific. An important factor affecting them is the pollution of certain sections of sea waters by sewage and petroleum products. The paper presents the results of studying the content of lipids in the periphyton together with petroleum hydrocarbons. The natural hydrocarbon background in the total amount of the of petroleum hydrocarbons content is assessed. The results obtained indicate an excess of the content of the studied compounds in the periphyton of hydraulic technical structures in comparison with coastal macrophyte emissions. A significant contribution of autochthonous hydrocarbons to the total amount of hydrocarbons in the periphyton was noted.

 

Keywords: periphyton; lipids; petroleum hydrocarbons; biogenic hydrocarbon background; hydraulic technical structures; coastal macrophyte emissions.

The active development of the previously untouched landscapes of the Far North by oil and gas enterprises requires the necessity of controlling over the state of the environment in these territories. To identify the man-made emissions specificity when extracting hydrocarbons in the territory of the Vostochno-Messoyakhskoye oil and gas condensate field (Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous territory), atmospheric fallout of heavy and semi-metals was assessed. Peat deposits were sampled in the areas with varying degrees of technogenic load. It was revealed that the samples contained forty microelements. High ash content of the samples was also revealed, which indicates an increased dust load in the surveyed region. Despite this fact, no significant differences were found in the content of trace elements between sites with different degrees of load. It was revealed that the prior element-contaminator in this deposit is molybdenum (Mo). Due to the fact that the average values of the enrichment coefficient (EC) for all trace elements (with the exception of Mo) do not exceed 10, it can be assumed that the geochemical situation at the Vostochno-Messoyakhskoye field is formed at the expense of natural sources of dust aerosols.

The paper highlights one of the areas of recycling highly toxic wastes of the oil and gas industry – acid tars. Possible methods of utilization and liquidation of acidic oily wastes, their advantages and disadvantages are considered. For acid tar samples of Omsk refinery, the phase composition was determined by standard methods application and a neutralizer was chosen. Emulsion of the neutralized acid tar together with dispersion of alkyl acrylates is used to improve rheological properties of road bitumen, various ratios of a modifier – bitumen were considered. Physical-chemical properties of initial and modified bitumen were determined and conclusions were made about the possibility of modifying road bitumen by the above-said composite and about the possibility of using these materials in road construction. A technological scheme for involving an acid tar emulsion together with alkyl acrylate dispersion in the process of road bitumen modification, a logistical justification placement of such production facilities, and its advantages are shown.

 

Keywords: neutralization; acid tar; oily waste; road bitumen; waste disposal; emulsification; dispersion; asphalt; alkyl acrylates; co-polymers; materials for road construction.

Lithium and cobalt batteries are primary and secondary sources of constant readiness and are designed to provide electricity to the oil and gas industry facilities. Cobalt from spent batteries can be used for manufacturing catalysts for oil refining. Utilization of current sources is based on the method of mechanical-chemical destruction and provides a high degree of extraction of compounds from batteries. A technological scheme for recycling lithium-cobalt batteries is presented. Research has been carried out on batteries opening, breaking and grinding, followed by leaching to extract cobalt. The content of cobalt and lithium elements at each stage of battery processing is analyzed. Distilled water and citric acid were used as leaching agents. It was found that using of citric acid provides for 53,2 % of cobalt extraction from batteries.

 

Keywords: power sources; batteries; lithium power sources; cobalt power sources; oil and gas industry.

The legal regime of specially protected natural areas prohibits any other types of economic activities that impede the preservation, restoration and reproduction of natural complexes and their components. The owners of licensed areas face serious problems that significantly complicate the implementation of license agreements that restrain the growth of hydrocarbon reserves, up to the refusal of oil and gas companies from investment and economic activities ("zero option") in disputed or conflict areas in the presence of a valid license issued in accordance with the RF law "On the Subsoil". A specific example shows the solution of a conflict situation caused by a legal collision – the combination of a licensed subsoil area with specially protected areas. The procedures of issuing licenses for the use of subsurface resources and the creation and expansion of protected areas have been analyzed. Recommendations are given for the development of licensed subsoil areas associated (combined) with specially protected natural areas.

 

Keywords: oil and gas fields; specially protected natural areas; license area; wildlife sanctuary; bustard; biodiversity protection; geological exploration; well construction; ornithological monitoring; coordination of the environmental department structures.
