PIPELINE TRANSPORT INFLUENCE ON THE ENVIRONMENT ANALYSIS ASPECTS

Abstract

The Ukrainian gas transportation system is one of the most powerful in the world, and the most cost-effective way of transporting oil and gas is pipeline transportation, which determines its exceptional role in the economy of our country. Pipeline transport occupies a special place in the unified transport system of Ukraine. Today, almost the entire volume of extracted oil and gas is transported by a system of main pipelines. The creation of pipeline systems, the intensive development of oil and gas production and processing industries are characterized by a significant anthropogenic impact on land and other natural resources, which is manifested in their degradation due to pollution during construction and operation and possible emergency situations.
