The economic assessment of harm to the arctic ecosystems at the development of oil and gas resources

In the article, the problem of development of oil and gas resources and consequence of this process for ecosystems of subarea of the northern subarctic tundra is considered in the example of the Yamal peninsula. These estimates of the main environment-forming and production (resource) functions of tundra natural and territorial complexes in a zone of active development of Bovanenkovsky oil-gas condensate field (OGCF) are presented. Recommendations for the integrated assessment of economic damage from the harm to subarctic ecosystems made by technogenic influence are introduced. The assessment of damage is based on the decrease in economic value of the natural capacity of the territory in the allocated ecological zones (troublesome zone of natural complexes), which development are defined by the stability of ecosystems and intensity of technogenic loadings. Results of an assessment of economic damage to conditions of development of Bovanenkovsky OGCF are given. Results of economic damage assessment for the development conditions of Bovanenkovsky OGCF are given
