WAYS TO ECOLOGIZE OIL AND GAS PRODUCTION: AN ECOSYSTEM APPROACH

 

Annotation. The article examines the problem of pollution caused by waste from oil and gas production, specifically: drilling cuttings, oil cuttings, associated gas utilization, etc. Solutions to this problem are proposed based on an ecosystem approach, which is aimed at minimizing the negative impact of the oil and gas industry on the environment and increasing its environmental sustainability. A model of a technoecosystem is proposed, functioning in a manner similar to natural ecosystems, in which the main principle is an ecosystem‑based approach to waste processing in the oil and gas industry, which involves the integrated use of a number of traditional and innovative technologies aimed at maximally reducing the negative impact on the environment, as well as the efficient reuse of production waste. The main advantages and examples of successful experience in transitioning to an ecosystem‑based approach by a number of companies operating in the oil industry have been identified.

Keywords: production waste, ecosystem‑based approach, ecosystem, technoecosystem, processing and disposal of production waste.
