Gazprom Neft implements action programmes that aim to minimise its volume of water consumption, mitigate environmental risks in water resource conservation and improve the environmental condition of water bodies and their coastal areas.
The Company regularly monitors water protection zones as well as surface water, groundwater and wastewater and assesses the bottom sediment conditions of surface water bodies in the areas where it operates. Scientists from the Polar Research Institute of Marine Fisheries and Oceanography are carrying out comprehensive studies of the water environment as well as key hydrological and hydro-chemical indicators of the water condition near the Prirazlomnaya offshore platform. Spending on industrial environmental control and monitoring of water bodies totalled RUB 25.9 million in 2016, a 10.6% increase from the previous year.
The ‘Biosphera’ system of the Moscow Oil Refinery can be considered an example of the best available technologies being introduced into the practice of Russian oil refining. The traditional setup was supplemented with highly effective methods of sorption and membrane purification, which will significantly increase the efficiency of purification using soluble substances.Marianna Kharlamova Director of the Ecological Monitoring and Forecasting Department at the Peoples' Friendship University of Russia
