Abstract: The development of the Kovyktinsk Gas-condensate Field in Irkutsk Oblast would have positive ecological impact on the region because the provision regional industries and population with gas supply would promote the substitution dry natural gas for power-generating coal. At the same time, exploitation of this field will immediately affect the environment and mostly the regions where the field are to be developed. To find a compromise – how to minimize negative impact on the environment and to reduce imbalanced use of all natural resources – is a major task for governments, public ecological organizations and gas-operators. The way to solve the task is to promote applications of the technologies providing minimal ecological risks.
