Gas Flare at Rosneft Oil Extraction Complex in Russia

Disastrous oil spills are a daily routine at Rosneft fields near Pyt'-Yah, Khanty-Mansi region, Siberia.
Greenpeace Russia is on an expedition to Rosneft’s oil fields Mamontovskoe and Yuzhno-Balyksky in the Khanty-Mansiysk district to document the consequences of their operations, which have turned thousands of hectares of forests and mires into environmental disaster zones just in a matter of years. Rosneft, an integrated oil company majority owned by the Government of Russia, has received at least 23 license blocks from the Russian government for oil exploration and production on the Arctic shelf.
