Abstract
One of the largest environmental problems of the oil industry in Russia is drilling waste contamination, that has negative impact on the living conditions of the people, animals and plants. Drill return sumps are pits on the territory of drilling sites, filled with drilling waste. The problem of drill return sumps recultivation can be solved using the local tree crops and drilling wastage skillfully employed as growth-stimulating substance alongside with drill return sumps amelioration. This gives us a possibility of developing of a conceptually new scientific and methodical base of forest recultivation on the disturbed lands.
