Catastrophe

This is what the Ukhta River looks like today in the area of ​​the city of Ukhta:

A little video:

The oil film covered the entire surface of the river, and this is given that oil enters the river from the opposite shore, i.e. The volume of oil is simply huge. There is a steady smell of oil products.

What do they write to us in the news? That the situation is controlled that the concentration of oil is falling, that it removes it as many as 106 people, that the oil source is the old exploration oil wells drilled in 1932-1950, which are located near the stream, that about 100 tons of oil could enter the reservoirs. Those. I translate into Russian - it's okay and no one is to blame.

Well, it also says: on April 21, the concentration of oil in the Ukhta River was 5.9 milligrams per liter. The concentration decreased compared to the morning breakdown of the same day, then this indicator was 8.8. What does this mean, we are watching X Aracteristics of the Ukhta River , the average annual consumption of 48.38 m3/s. And during the flood of peak up to 300 m3/s, now the flood, but I don’t have a peak and I think somewhere around 200m3/s. Those. We get: 8.8*24*60*60*200 000/1 000 000 000 = 152 tons! And now the question of how long oil flowed under the ice, the first mention of it in the Ukhta River dates back to April 10. The total volume of oil can reach up to a thousand tons. As you can see the scale of the disasters, they underestimate at times, it is also clear that they tried to shut up the problem for a long time, did they really think that everything would cost and in itself would resolve?

I do not believe the version in a leak from old wells, I do not believe that 60 years from there nothing came out even in small quantities, and then it was blown up, hundreds of tons. But they told me how our valiant Lukoil operates grocery pipelines in the area that breathe in the incense, and all in pars, because The clamp is easier to put than to replace the entire pipe. One of their employees of this organization admitted that this is their fault, although officially they have nothing to do with it. I believe that the prosecutor’s office, the Investigative Committee, the Ukhta and Komi authorities should say their word here. This cannot be lowered on the brakes. Komi ecology has been caused tremendous damage and the consequences will be for many years.
