The West Siberian oil and gas province is the main region of oil and gas production in Russia. The province occupies about 15 % of the territory of Russia. The oil and gas industry of Western Siberia is based on proven unique reserves of oil and natural gas and ensures the energy security and economic interests of our country. Within the West Siberian oil and gas province, more than 600 oil and gas fields have been discovered. Due to the huge hydrocarbon reserves and the active use of the latest technologies, the regional oil and gas bearing complexes of Western Siberia are involved in the technogenic transformation of the geological and natural environment. In the process of developing oil and gas fields, a radical restructuring of all components of the geological and natural environment takes place. Transformations are developing not only on the day surface, but also in the near - wellbore and inter - wellbore spaces; they are acquiring a rather large scale and are becoming a manifestation of regional technogenesis. Industrial accidents and complications are accompanying factors in the development of technogenesis. The processes of construction and operation of wells, production, processing and transportation of raw materials are accompanied by spills of technogenic flows, emissions of harmful substances, flaring of associated gas, water flooding, chemicals, fracturing are technologically dangerous. Carrying out and the consequences of technological processes and operations provoke subsidence of the day surface and rock mass, pollute open water bodies and sources of drinking water, cause acid rain, destroy vegetation, create a strong greenhouse effect, all these processes and phenomena accelerate the development of regional technogenesis.

Key words: regional technogenesis, West Siberian province, regional oil and gas complexes, accidents and complications, well, oil field, transformation of rock massif, technogenic impact, oil production facilities, accidents and complications
