Abstract

This article assesses the oil and gas sector in Russia in terms of environmental aspects. This industry has an important meaning for national economy and is one of the most nature-exploiting and "ecologically polluting" industries. Based on the analysis of domestic and foreign scientific works in the field of environmental protection, the lack of a unified approach to solving problems related to the formation and development of new directions in the policy on environmental conservation in terms of the economic component was revealed. The paper shows the peculiarities of application and impact of economic levers in ensuring environmental security in this industry in order to make sound management decisions.
