Condition monitoring and management of environmentally hazardous facilities in mining and mineral processing

Article preview

The system of integrated environmental monitoring of objects of high environmental risk in the exploration and operation of oil and gas wells is proposed. Outlined the methodological basis of observation, assessment and control over the state of the natural environment components in the impact zone of oil production enterprises. It was revealed that for reliable determination of the level of environmental hazard of oil and gas industry facilities requires a detailed study of the state of the landscape before the construction of wells and the characteristics of the processes that create a technogenic load on the environment. In order to prevent and eliminate the consequences of the negative impact of oil and gas industry facilities a number of new technological solutions are proposed at different stages of the field operation (for example, at the stages of prospecting, exploration and development of hard-to-reach deposits to reduce the technogenic load of cluster horizontal wells with a waste of up to 500 m from the vertical). In cases of emergencies we offer technologies for localization of oil spills, processing of oil-contaminated water and soils, recultivation of disturbed areas, utilization of toxic oily waste.
