Название: Нефть и газ в мире на англ. языке Главные Пункты: * Новый проект ЛУКОйла в Балтийском море угрожает объекту природного наследия ЮНЕСКО (12.05.2002) Полный Текст Нефть и газ в мире на англ. языке 12th May 2002 Honorable Colleagues! We would like to inform You about new project of LUKOIL-KaliningradMor NefteGas (Kaliningrad division of national company LUKOIL) company which suggest of installation of oil platform, drilling and exploitation of Kravtsovkoe oilfield (D6) located at continental shelf of Baltic Sea about 22 kilometers offshore. At present time LUKOIL has preparing the documentation for EIA procedure including notes and suggestions from public and NGOs. Practically it is mean that company is ready for realization of project. We would kindly ask You to pay an attention to this project (www.lukoil-kmn.com/eng/index.html) and especially on location of oilfield that is very near to Сuronian Split National Park - the UNESCO World Heritage international object. The projecting installation at open sea include the drilling platform and underwater pipeline for transportation of oil-water-gas mixture to shore. Planning pipeline height will be up to 45 kilometers exclude land based transport pipelines for oil products transportation from oil collecting point to existing oil terminal in Izhevskoe. Building of sea based construction need for approximately 8 months and pipeline installation about 7 months. The drilling itself will be fulfilling in 72 month than exploitation of oilfield will be continuing in 25-30 years. The total estimated amount of mined oil is up to 1,4 million tons annually. The most danger factor of this project is oilfield nearness to Сuronian Spit National Park including in list of the UNESCO World Heritage objects in December 2000. The distance from oil platform and underwater pipeline to Сuronian Spit coast is 22 kilometers. Also we would emphasize that existing undercurrent along Baltic coast in this area running from south-west to north-east is able to move the oil spill in direction of Lithuania shore and territorial water. Never less LUKOIL experts has disclaim the possibility of trans-boundary transfer of oil spill and wouldn't planning any measures to prevent the possible pollution. So, ignoring such treat, Lukoil-Kaliningradmorneft do not model possible situations of transboundary pollution and do not plan serious measures to evade or liquidate such situation (for example, systems for alarming foreign countries, common liquidation measures and so on). We think that realization of such project as installation of oil drilling station at D6 on the shore of Baltic Sea is a possible source of problems for Baltic Sea Countries and must be accessed internationally.
