MONITORING OF POLLUTION CAUSED BY THE OIL INDUSTRY, AREA PATOS – MARINZ

The oil industry has been using the same technique and technology for the oil refining purposes for the last 80 years covering the large geographic extension over 6 districts in the country. Despite this extension, there have been no environmental management strategies and policies. All of these have created problems we face today and that have become very distressful for the people, as the sensitivity towards such problems are increasing day by day. The intensity of the development of the extractive and processing industry has not been associated with environmental responsibilities, which in some cases have existed, however, not with a successful result. The main factors of this pollution are: oil wells, wells (oil collection groups), oil decanter plants, oil pumping stations, oil transportation pipelines, oil processing plants. During these technological process of production and processing, the oil emitting as a result makes the environment polluted with toxics gaseous, liquid, solid, noises and artificial earthquakes. The main sources of surface water pollution are: Oil discharged into the wells; Water that is discharged after the decantation process; The purpose of this paper is to monitor the environmental impact caused by the oil extraction industry. The materials on which this study was based are direct field surveys, studies, analysis, and other engineering data.
