Abstract
In recent years, geophysical methods have been increasingly involved in solving environmental problems, one of which is mapping of areas of technogenic pollution by hydrocarbons. Given the huge size of the country, the focus of the economy on the production, transportation and processing of hydrocarbons, significant territories were subjected to technogenic hydrocarbon pollution. In this paper, we consider an example of mapping of non-standard technogenic hydrocarbon pollution - oil pollution of the territory of one of the metallurgical plants in the region of the technological waste accumulator. The non-standard work is that, mainly, geophysical studies are used to map oil spills in pipelines and the results of its processing (gasoline, kerosene, diesel fuel, etc.) in the areas of oil refineries and their storage facilities. Accordingly, publicly available publications are mainly devoted to mapping this type of pollution. At this site, it was required to filter out hydrocarbon processing products in the form of industrial oil with partial inclusions of metal chips and dust.
