Technical and Economic Contributions in the Field Of Monitoring and Reducing the Impact of the Oil and Gas Industry on the Environmental Factors

摘要

Like any other industrial activity, the production of hydrocarbons affects the environment both through the performance of actual technological process and through undesired accidents, which may occur. The paper presents technical and economic contributions in the field of monitoring and reducing the ecological impact of petroleum exploitation on the environment and an analysis of technologies used to remove pollution from soils and the subsurface contaminated by hydrocarbons. The first part presents the stream of drilling and production activities and the impact of oil and gas reservoir exploitation on the environment. Also, an assessment of pollution sources and oil industry specific agents is performed. The case study is performed based on the documentation prepared by PETROM S.A., a member of OMV Group, in connection with Moinesti Operating Area, which includes the investigation performed in Cucuieti structure and on the samples taken from the area and investigates in the specialized laboratories the Oil and Gas University in Ploiesti. In the last part of this paper, the most important conclusions are presented. They outline the strengths and different issues relating to pollution removal technologies that were presented, but also the results of the performed studies.
