Abstract
AbstractThe production of fossil fuels is associated with a significant burden on the environment. However, comparing the production of oil and gas with the extraction of other types of minerals, it can be seen that with significantly larger production volumes, the environmental impact is lower here. The purpose of the research is to study the impact of oil and gas production in Russia on the environment in comparison with the industry average situation. To do this, the following tasks are expected to be performed: - identifying the dynamics of the production of fuel resources in Russia in 2017-2020; - determination of indicators of environmental pollution and their comparison with industry averages; - calculation of current costs and investments in fixed assets for environmental protection. In this, first of all, a significant role is played by the features of the mining object, the technologies used and the need to maintain the status of an environmentally friendly industry due to the high share of exports. The main source of pollution is air emissions (hydrocarbons (including volatile organic compounds) - 44.6%, carbon monoxide - 36.3%, solids, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides). Awareness of this problem is also manifested in the structure of investments in environmental protection. Their share in the protection of atmospheric air does not fall below 59% of the total amount of environmental investments.
