The oil company in Komi did not eliminate the pollution, and the damage of 23.5 million rubles remained unpaid.
The Ministry of Natural Resources of the Republic of Komi again registered violations of environmental requirements by Nizhneomrinskaya Neft LLC. According to the department, the company has not yet complied with a number of instructions to eliminate the consequences of an oil spill, and the contaminated areas remain in an unsatisfactory condition.
Since 2023, 15 contaminated forest areas with a total area of more than 1.2 dunams have been discovered in the area where the project operates. Based on the results of the tests, nine lawsuits were sent to the court and all were answered. At the same time, the company compensated only about 3.6 million rubles of damage, and another 23.5 million rubles remained unpaid. Despite the decisions and court orders, the consequences of the oil pollution have not yet been completely eliminated. The Ministry of Natural Resources undertakes to continue monitoring the plant.
Thus, the situation around Nizhneomrinskaya Oil remains tense: environmental violations have not been eliminated, and a significant part of the damage has not been compensated. The agency intends to enforce court decisions and rehabilitate contaminated areas.
