Methodology for managing the risks of situations leading to negative environmental impacts during gas production

Purpose. Presentation of the developed methodology for managing the risks of emergency situations leading to negative environmental impacts during gas production, which allows for the selection of an effective set of measures to eliminate or reduce these risks. Methods. The development of the presented methodology is based on the set-theoretical approach. Findings. The stages of the developed methodology for managing the risks of emergency situations leading to negative environmental impacts during gas production are presented: construction of an acceptable risk curve; identification of significant environmental risks requiring immediate elimination; determination of effective management measures that can reduce risks to acceptable levels by «breaking» the most dangerous chains of emergency situations. Application field of research. The application of the described methodology for reducing environmental risks during gas production will effectively reduce the company's risk level and mitigate the risks of emergency situations leading to negative environmental impacts during the operation of gas production wells.
