Gazprom Neft is improving its environmental monitoring system in the Orenburg region
Gazprom Neft is expanding its environmental monitoring system using state-of-the-art ecological monitoring stations in the Orenburg Oblast.
Gazprom Neft has commissioned four environmental monitoring stations and more than 100 air-quality monitoring sensors in the Orenburg Oblast. Total investment in this project will reach RUB2.3bn by 2023.
Gazpromneft-Orenburg’s environmental monitoring system tracks air quality at one of the region’s most important oil-and- gas-condensate assets — the Orenburg field’s Eastern Block.* Data are transmitted to this facility’s control room, and to the Orenburg Oblast Integrated Environmental Monitoring System (accessible to all local people) in real time.
Gazprom Neft will have installed two further environmental monitoring stations, as well as commissioning about 50 control sensors, by end-2021. This integrated eco-monitoring system will include more than 900 sensors, and 16 stations, in total, by that time. Air quality is also monitored by three mobile laboratories, equipped with gas-analysis and weather monitoring equipment.
A further 20 control posts will be commissioned over the next two years. Total investment in environmental protection initiatives under this project —
which is due to be complete by 2023 — is expected to reach RUB2.3 billion."

Govt decides against
banning gasoline exports
for now
The Russian government has decided against introducing emergency measures to stabilize exchange prices for fuel, including a ban on gasoline exports and agreements with oil companies, Kommersant business daily reported late on August 9 citing sources.
Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak held a meeting with representatives of oil companies to discuss the current situation on the fuel market. “They may have
discussed introduction of a ban on exports that the Energy Ministry suggested at the end of July, and also fuel agreements,” the daily reported.
One of the sources told Kommersant that the arguments against the measures included an alleged trend for a lower export parity price as the oil price fell below U.S. $70 per barrel. Oil companies also agreed to ramp up the exchange offer of fuel. After the meeting, the authorities once again recommended that oil companies raise exchange sales of gasoline, Kommersant reported.
The exchange prices for fuel in Russia have been growing since the beginning of the year, and they have grown about 20% since January 1. In June–July, the prices have hit record highs several times, so the government started discussing a ban on gasoline exports and a serious increase in mandatory fuel sales through the exchange.

market sales of gasoline in

"Group Lukoil sells oil products (on the market) above the obligation set by the law. The company plans to boost car gasoline and diesel fuel supply to the market in August in order to stabilize the situation as soon as possible," the company said.
Lukoil is obliged to sell 11% of gasoline and 7.5% of diesel fuel on the market.
