Environmental Protection

Pre-EIA and EIA for oil, gas and condensate field development projects. Category 1 general license for environmental design and standard-setting.

Environmental documentation is produced in-house, without subcontracting: emissions calculations, impact assessments and supporting materials are prepared alongside the development project, so the solutions stay consistent.

Scope of work

• Pre-EIA — Preliminary environmental impact assessment: early-stage review of design decisions, identifying significant impact types and the scope of further studies.
• EIA for development projects — Environmental impact assessment for oil, gas and condensate field development: air emissions calculations, waste management, impact assessment on environmental components, mitigation measures.
• Environmental standard-setting — Work under the category 1 general license for environmental design and standard-setting, issued in 2014.

How the work proceeds

• Input data and scoping — We take on the development and facility design decisions, source characteristics and data on the project site area.
• Data analysis and calculations — We calculate emissions and dispersion in the ERA suite and EKOLOG software, and assess waste management and impact on environmental components.
• Impact assessment by option — We compare design options by the significance of their impact and form a list of environmental protection measures.
• Approval and defense — We prepare the EIA section, support it through the approval procedure, and address comments.
• Implementation support — We update the documentation as needed when design decisions or operating conditions change.
