Regulation of environmental safety at the stages construction of main pipelines

Abstract

Pipeline transport plays a special role in the unified transport system of the Russian Federation. Today, almost the entire volume of gas is delivered through the main pipelines. The technology of transportation of natural gas, oil, condensate and their byproducts, constructive solutions of the linear part and ground facilities influence the natural environment. Therefore, the issue of compliance with environmental protection rules in constructing pipeline transport facilities is relevant. It is of special significance due to the construction of new transport routes in the Asian region. The article analyzes legal documents on the stages of construction of linearly extended objects such as oil and gas pipelines. It was revealed that the compliance with the construction requirements reduces the damage to nature, but does not eliminate it. It was concluded that the production improvement is the most rational method of reducing the negative impact of construction on natural ecosystems. The analysis made it possible to provide recommendations for amending the environmental protection legislation.
