Environment

Environmental protection is the priority aim of Imperial Energy production activity. Environmental program of Imperial Energy comprises two levels:

• the company uses up-to-date environment friendly technologies of oil exploration, drilling and extraction including associated gas utilization to provide maximal efficiency of company’s resources exploitation;
• the company has its own educational program on environment protection for its employees.

In order to fulfill the environmental requirements the Company plans, develops and implements measures on environment protection system management (“System”). The System implies air quality monitoring at Company’s oil fields, including the monitoring of air, water and soil quality, wastes recycling monitoring, environmental emergencies response measures and reporting to competent state authorities. Imperial Energy actively implements environmental monitoring systems for minimization of harm to the environment.

As a responsible and efficient upstream oil company, Imperial Energy studies ways of associated gas utilization for industrial needs. In 2007 the Company installed energy generator running on associated gas at Snezhnoe field. Using of such generators for field facilities power supply is the best solution of associated gas utilization.

The company has its own environmental protection educational program for the personnel. Imperial Energy actively implements environmental monitoring systems for minimization of harm inflicted to the environment. In spring 2007 Imperial Energy management team and employees planted 1500 trees in Kargasok and Parabel districts of Tomsk region.
