Every year the company increases investments in environmental protection measures, creating a modern, high-tech production, working in harmony with nature. The company implemented a targeted gas program, under which gas compressor stations and a multiphase pumping station were put into operation. Four sites for processing of soils with high hydrocarbon content are in operation. Water intake from surface water bodies for injection into formations to maintain reservoir pressure was completely halted.Also, the company pays special attention to improving the reliability of pipelines using new technologies and materials.
