Gazprom Neft, together with Rosprirodnadzor, has completed the development of a new industry standard for monitoring industrial emissions. The document, formed on the basis of the experience of the Omsk Refinery, will become mandatory for oil refining enterprises within the framework of the national project “Environmental Well-Being”.
– In 2022, the Omsk Refinery became a pilot site for testing the environmental control system.
– At SPIEF 2022, Gazprom Neft, Rosprirodnadzor and the Ministry of Natural Resources signed a memorandum on the development of uniform industry standards.
– In 2023, the monitoring system received the status of a mandatory standard for oil refineries.
What does the new standard include?
✔ Uniform requirements for emission control sensors
✔ Automated data transfer to supervisory authorities
✔ Methodology for responding when standards are exceeded
✔ Digital protocols for integration with government systems
Comments from regulators and businesses
– Svetlana Radionova, head of Rosprirodnadzor: “This is the first standard in Russia that systematizes environmental monitoring for refineries. The experience of the Omsk plant has proven its effectiveness.”
– Alexander Dyukov, head of Gazprom Neft: “We deliberately moved towards creating an industry standard. Now any plant can implement the proven methodology.”
Why is this important for the industry?
– Eliminates “discrepancies” in environmental control between enterprises
– Reduces the time required for approval of modernization projects
– Allows you to avoid fines for non-compliance with requirements
The adoption of the standard completes a 3-year cycle of work on the digitalization of environmental supervision. The system is being implemented at 12 oil refineries in Russia.
