ASSESSMENT OF ECOLOGICAL RISK CAUSED BY LEAKS TO THE EARTH SURFACE WHEN INCREASING THE VOLUME OF GAS INJECTED INTO THE GARADAGH GAS RESERVOIR

Abstract

The article notes that maintaining seismicity and the geological-tectonic structure of underground gas storage facilities, which are of exceptional importance in the national economy, is one of the important problems and is always the focus of attention of the state of Azerbaijan. Before environmental risks arise when changing the volumes of gas injected and withdrawn from the reservoir, it is proposed to compile maps reflecting the state of stress and deformation for different levels, taking into account the increase and decrease in the effect of density in the reservoir.
