  • Conservation of biodiversity:

    The conservation of biological diversity is our company’s main goal. Particularly with regard to biodiversity, the extraction of oil has a substantial detrimental impact on the environment overall. The key to significantly decreasing these impacts is the widespread and deliberate application of the best techniques and technology for biodiversity preservation and the protection of the natural environment overall.

    The public’s access to the results of scientific studies and efforts to conserve biodiversity; the availability of research and/or monitoring programs for indicator species; the accessibility of an approved list of indicator species in the areas where the company is present or operates; techniques for engaging stakeholders in discussions on biodiversity conservation initiatives (discussion of methodology, results, etc.).

    When a project reaches the impact assessment phase, we analyze and assess hazards to the environment, society, and health as well as look for ways to perform better. Environmental monitoring, which considers ecosystem sensitivity and biodiversity, is conducted concurrently with production activities. The Society monitors the wildlife and plants on a yearly basis. The Production Environmental Control Program, which was agreed upon with the authorized organization in the field of environmental protection, is followed when making observations about the condition of the flora and fauna at LLP West Gas Energy’s facilities.
