One of the major environmental problems in Russia is the pollution of the natural environment by oil and oil products. The work is devoted to oil spill cleanup in the swampy landscapes of Western Siberia. The problem of oil collection is proposed to be solved by the available equipment and personnel, using forced methods, and to intensify oil collection in swampy areas to build excavations in natural depressions and drainage ditches to them along the flow lines, and then apply water washing with simultaneous localization of the territory. The schemes developed and proposed by the author to improve the efficiency of oil collection from waterlogged areas are used in practice and included in the guiding document of Surgutneftegaz.
