OREANDA-NEWS. March 26, 2010. Varyoganneftegaz has drawn up a plan of logistical measures in preparation for the flooding period between now and 15 May. Approximately 30% of the measures are already in place. Unpaved and log roads on all the company’s fields have been cross-cleaned; crews of road workers are on standby and specialized equipment has been provided; and the status of the floodwaters is being constantly monitored. Most of the work will begin after the snow melts, including deliveries of soil to prevent contamination around cluster sites.

All these measures have been designed to prevent emergency situations, as the weathermen are predicting an abrupt transition from cold to warm weather in the region this year.
