Relevance of the work: Currently, the oil production and refining industry has a huge impact on underground water. The negative impact of petroleum products on the environment, including the pollution of underground water, is quite relevant not only around the world, but also specifically in our region. The purpose of the work: to reveal the influence of the oil-producing and oil-refining industries on underground water, to reveal the sources of pollution, pollutants in the areas of the oil-producing and oil-refining industries, as well as the conditions for the protection of underground water. Method of work: analysis of literary sources, scientific research. The results of the work and the scope of their application: Groundwater pollution is local or regional in nature, it occurs under the influence of man-made and natural processes. It is established that the flow of petroleum products and oil into underground waters is possible due to the leakage of raw materials at the stage of preparation for transportation and transportation of petroleum products, at the stage of operation and drilling of wells, etc., and the most dangerous pollutants are ground water pollution. The danger of contamination of underground waters with oil and petroleum products is dangerous because in this regard, various bacteria develop in underground waters that can cause various mutations, diseases; underground water is a strategic reserve of drinking water; it is almost impossible to clean underground water when oil wells break through; self-purification of underground water occurs for a long time. To reduce the negative impact, it is necessary to carefully monitor the performance of equipment, adhere to certain standards at oil production and oil refining enterprises.
