ASSESSMENT OF WAYS TO IMPROVE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS IN OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY ENTERPRISES

Abstract

The oil and gas industry is one of the key sectors contributing to energy security and industrial development; however, it also has a considerable potential for adverse environmental impacts. Drilling, extraction, treatment, processing, storage, and transportation of oil and gas may generate atmospheric emissions, wastewater, oil-contaminated soils, and industrial waste with varying levels of hazard.
