Abstract

The effects of climate change, such as melting ice and permafrost in northern and Arctic regions, raise serious concerns about the risk of accidents at oil production, transportation, and storage facilities. This risk is compounded by the lack of comprehensive statistical data on accidental spills, which complicates the development of effective preventive measures. This study introduces an innovative approach to systematizing and analyzing official data on accidental oil and petroleum product spills in the Russian Arctic and Far North. Using association analysis and multivariate methods, the research explores relationships between the causes and objects of accidents. The findings indicate no distinct patterns in the distribution of spill incidents across the Russian Arctic and Far North compared to other regions. However, a notable correlation between the causes of spills and their locations was identified, which may inform the development of targeted preventive measures.
