Analysing oil and gas production facilities impact on atmospheric air of Potochnoye field

Environmental issues are always relevant. Nature is subject to constant human intervention. At the same time, associated institutions are being created to solve the tasks of reducing the level of harmful effects and the full restoration of environment. In this article, we assess the level of harmful emissions and wastes of oil and gas complex facilities during drilling, construction of facilities for field development and their operation, and present basic measures to reduce their impact on the air in Potochnoye field. We have examined the amount of emissions and waste from stationary and mobile sources. During wells drilling and facilities construction, the average annual evidence of pollutant emissions into the atmosphere caused by stationary sources will amount to 141.29 tons per year while the pollutant emissions caused by road and construction equipment and vehicles will be equal to 200.8 tons per year. Every year the amount of emissions into the atmosphere caused by the maintenance of the designed facilities will be 13730.9 tons per year, emissions from vehicles will be 47.1 tons per year. During field development, all work on the field should be carried out in compliance with the standards of the legislation of the Russian Federation. Having analyzed the amount of estimated emissions, a set of measures has been drawn up with the objective to reduce the impact of oil and gas complex on atmospheric air.
