Abstract On the territory of Nizhnevartovsk district Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug-Ugra, accidents on pipelines still have a complex destructive impact on the environment, leading to pollution and aggravation of the environmental situation in the region. Possible impact on the environment during the exploitation of deposits, even if minimized (formally), yet negative changes in the environment continue to accumulate and manifest themselves. In this case, it is impossible to completely avoid accidents. Usually, as a result of pipeline breachings, the largest emissions of oil and petroleum products occur. The reasons for the high number of accidents on pipelines operating in the district and area are equipment operation, including pipelines, in excess of the standard period; insufficient investment by oil companies of funds allocated for the reconstruction and overhaul of pipelines; as well as the progressive aging of existing networks and poor production equipment with reliable automation and remote control systems. In recent years, numerous environmental protection measures cited in the oil and gas complex have not led to a significant improvement in the environmental situation in the region. This article analyzes the results of accidents on oil pipelines from fields in the Nizhnevartovsk district Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug-Ugra for 2014–2018 and determines the seasonal indexes of accidents on the oil fields of a given territory.
