2017 has been declared the Year of the Environment at PJSC Gazprom. In this regard, several dozen eco-events are planned at Gazprom transgaz Tchaikovsky LLC, in which more than two and a half thousand employees will take part.

During the year, the enterprise plans to carry out activities in the following areas: greening production, maintaining a favorable environment in the regions of the Company's operations, rehabilitation of natural objects and complexes, environmental education and information activity among workers and the public.

It is expected that the gas workers will become active participants in traditional environmental campaigns: Clean Park, Clean Coast, Plant a Tree, community work days. The events will be held on the territory of the Company's production facilities and sanitary protection zones, as well as settlements where the business units are located. As in 2016, OOO Gazprom transgaz Tchaikovsky will take part in the All-Russian environmental clean-up campaign Green Spring. A number of bike rides will be held throughout the year, one of the tasks of which will be environmental education.

Traditionally great attention given to pupils and students. Excursions to the production facilities of the enterprise, environmental lessons, quizzes and competitions will be organized for them.

The issues of introducing environmental protection technologies and equipment of fixed assets for environmental purposes will not be left aside. In particular, work will continue to replace standard combustion chambers on GPA GTK-10-4 engines with low-emission ones, as well as testing a technology to reduce pollutant emissions into the atmospheric air, developed as part of research work at the second compressor shop of the Gornozavodskaya compressor station.

In total, during 2017, the number of subbotniks, environmental campaigns, eco-campaigns, contests, meetings and other thematic events will exceed five hundred. They will take place in all divisions of the Company and any employee of OOO Gazprom transgaz Tchaikovsky will be able to take part in them.

In 2017, which is declared the Year of the Environment, Gazpromneft-Orenburg plans to invest more than 6 billion rubles in the implementation of environmental projects, the company reports.

In the fourth quarter of this year, Gazpromneft-Orenburg will complete the construction of a gas compressor station at the Vostochny block of the Orenburg oil and gas condensate field, which will make it possible to send the entire volume of associated petroleum gas (APG) to the Orenburg gas processing plant. Due to this, in 2018 the company plans to achieve at least 95% APG utilization at the Eastern block.

Other environmental protection measures taken by Gazpromneft-Orenburg will include optimization of waste management, their neutralization and disposal, environmental monitoring, control of pollutant emissions during the work of contractors for the development and workover of wells.

Previously, oil and gas companies all over the world flared APG directly at the fields and thereby caused significant damage to the environment. This led to the loss of energy resources and provided about 1% of all global greenhouse gas emissions.

Gazpromneft-Orenburg is a subsidiary of Gazprom Neft, it operates in the Orenburg, Novosergievsky, Perevolotsky and Sorochinsky districts Orenburg region, as well as in the city of Orenburg.

Year of Ecology

By decree of Russian President Vladimir Putin, 2017 in Russia was declared the year of ecology in order to draw attention to the problematic issues that exist in the environmental sphere and improve the state of environmental safety countries.

A significant part of the plan for the Year of Ecology, which replaced the Year of Cinema, is devoted to waste management: from the elimination of illegal landfills and the "people's" map of landfills to the introduction of a system for collecting mercury-containing waste and batteries, and also includes the re-equipment of Russian enterprises and the transition to more "green" technologies .

The Year of Ecology is held in Russia for the second time in the last five years. It was first held in 2013. Its main results included the closure of the Baikal Pulp and Paper Mill, the creation of two new national parks - Beringia in Chukotka and Onega Pomorie in the Arkhangelsk region.

Earlier, Minister of Ecology and Natural Resources Sergei Donskoy reported that the total amount of investments in environmental projects in the Year of Ecology will be about 400 billion rubles, and this will be both public and private investments. At the same time, most of the investments will be allocated from private sources.

The largest volume of investments falls on oil and gas projects: these are measures to compensate for harm natural objects, restoration of the environment, construction of treatment facilities. They will amount to about 100 billion rubles.

As TASS was informed in the Ministry of Natural Resources, in 2016 the total volume of investments in environmental projects of the Russian Federation amounted to 150 billion rubles. Thus, in the Year of Ecology, public and private investments in such projects will increase by almost 2.7 times.

To reduce the impact on the environment to zero - such a goal was set at the Moscow Oil Refinery. There, Gazprom Neft completed the second stage of modernization, the 360 ​​TV channel reported.

The program began six years ago, during which time production has managed to reach world standards in terms of economy. And the other day, two more were completed at MPNZ major projects.

There is no such unique purification system in the oil refining industry anywhere in Russia. Wastewater treatment plant"Biosphere" is the key environmental project at the Moscow Oil Refinery. Almost 100% - this efficiency is shown by the new system in water purification. Thus, the plant will reduce the load on city sewage and environment.

In this process of water treatment, we get water at the outlet, which, in terms of quality and purity, surpasses the quality of water, which is, for example, in the Moscow River

Alexander Dyukov, Chairman of the Management Board, Gazprom Neft.

A modern automated air monitoring system operates here. Here, in the center of monitoring and diagnostics, all the data is collected, the indicators are monitored by specialists. The Deputy Prime Minister of Russia and representatives of environmental departments came to see the new system.

The data of the monitoring system are transferred to the supervisory authorities and published in the public domain on the plant's website. So anyone can find out the quality of local air. The new monitoring complex at the plant is a three-stage control.

The first level is sensors that are installed at facilities that produce harmful emissions. Further there are already sensors, this is the Mosecomonitoring system, which takes air measurements and the content of harmful substances along the perimeter of the sanitary protection zone

Alexander Dyukov, Chairman of the Management Board, Gazprom Neft.

Also, the Moscow Refinery now has independent laboratories - twice a day they take air samples and measure the level of pollutants. So, measurements are made both on the territory of the plant and outside it.

On the Moscow refinery Gazprom Neft has one more new project which will launch in 2018. This is the construction of a combined Euro+ oil refining unit. The volume of oil refining will increase, and the level of environmental safety will increase.

"Euro+" is one more step to reduce emissions at the level of the most world standards. And I even think that we will not find such emission standards in the world

Alexander Khloponin, Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation.

Modernization of the Moscow Refinery began in 2011. In six years, new closed facilities for water purification were built, waste accumulated during the Soviet period was removed, and the bitumen production unit was reconstructed. As a result, the environmental impact was reduced by half. And in three years, this figure will decrease by half.
