Description
Summary:The cryolithozone of the Timan-Pechora petroleum province is a part of the Northern Euroasian centre of stabilization of the environment and its conservation is the main condition of the sustainable development of the region. On the basis of calculations performed for a number of long-developed deposits, it is shown that in case of active exploitation of all the proven hydrocarbon reserves, in 20-30 years the growth area of disturbed lands can lead to а loss of biospheric functions of cryolithozone and the inability of development within its boundaries the traditional nature management.
