Plant ecological research for the bioremediation from pollution by oil and oil products in Absheron peninsula (Azerbaijan)

In Azerbaijan, it is necessary to study scientifically the fertility of groundwater contaminated soils and the restoration of vegetation, as well as the benefits derived from underground oil and petroleum products. For this purpose, it is a very urgent issue to carry out phytoecological studies around the wells operated in oil fields. In modern times, when petroleum products are extracted, soils are subject to degradation due to anthropogenic and technogenic effects and some species of our flora have been oppressed. For the first time, phytoecological studies were carried out by us in the Pirallahi Oil and Gas Extraction Department of Absheron Neft State Oil Company of the Republic of Azerbaijan. Determination of oil-contaminated lands and areas under groundwater in the operational zones of oil and gas extraction departments on the Absheron Peninsula in the “Comprehensive Plan of Action for Improvement of the Environmental Situation in the Republic of Azerbaijan for 2006-2010” approved by order of the President of the Azerbaijan Republic dated September 28, 2006 and the preparation of a large-scale ecological map of the Absheron peninsula was demonstrated.
