Taking Care of the Environment |

Environmental protection is one of the key elements of the Salym oilfield development program of SPD. Ecological programs and projects of the Company follow the requirements of the Russian environmental protection laws and standards of Shell.
As the scope of operations and oil production grow, so do the potential threats to the natural environment. Oil spills are one of the greatest threats. To address the potential problem, SPD has developed a comprehensive plan of eliminating oil spills, which has been approved by the respective government authorities. The Company has manned and equipped a dedicated emergency response team, and have ordered additional equipment and machinery for them. There is also a contract in place with a specialized emergency and rescue unit of ZAO "Zaschita Yugry", which will be available to bolster our resources in case of need. SPD is regularly training personnel in oil spill containment and removal.
Preventing contamination of the environment by industrial and domestic waste, and utilisation of associated gas is another important element of our activity. SPD has completed the construction of the first phase of the polygon to accumulate and utilize industrial and domestic waste. The polygon stores and processes oil sludge and contaminated soil and compost and bury domestic waste. To utilise associated gas, a gas turbine power plant was built in 2007, which burns gas and produce electricity.
Air and soil, surface and ground water are regularly monitored on the territory of the Salym group of fields and export pipeline right-of-way, with the measurements checked against background data. The main purpose of such environmental monitoring is to make sure that our operations do not affect the natural environment in a harmful way.
As required by the Shell biodiversity standard, SPD started a comprehensive study of the flora and fauna in the area of the Salym fields in 2006. Researchers from the local Surgut State University, which have studied local nature for many years, have been invited to participate in the effort. The study will continue throughout 2007. |
