Decisions to prevent pollution and restore the environment within the impact of abandoned oil and gas wells

Abstract

Decommissioned oil and gas wells that pose a danger to the environment due to emissions of methane, which is a powerful greenhouse gas and one of the man-made factors that weaken the stability of the planet in the context of global climate change. The prospects of using resistant plants common in natural phytocenoses to the influence of oil contaminants in phytoremediation practice are analyzed. The bioindication suitability of oil-sensitive plant species, which are recommended for use in monitoring studies of the quality of technogenic-transformed environment, is revealed. The choice of equipment for the restoration of abandoned wells has been made.

Application of environmental biomonitoring in environmental risk management of the fuel and energy complex

“…It is known that electromagnetic radiation inhibits the growth and development processes of plants, causes changes in the shape and size of flowers, leaves, stems, the appearance of extra petals, and a decrease in plants dry weight [26,27,35]. The phytocoenotic diversity of the territory is an indicator of the ecological system environmental state, therefore, the study of the plant community's species composition makes it possible to identify the most promising species in terms of phytoindication [36,37].…”
