The procedure and algorithms of actions in cases of a probable threat or in the accident related to the spill of oil and petroleum products at the facilities of the fuel and energy complex are defined in the relevant regulations of the Russian Federation. The main regulatory documents regulating the rules for organizing measures to prevent and eliminate oil and petroleum product spills are Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 2366 of December 30, 2020 and Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 2451 of December 31, 2020. This article deals with the rules for organizing measures to prevent and eliminate oil and petroleum product spills on land and their features when applied in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation. The rules for organizing measures to prevent and eliminate oil and petroleum product spills on the continental shelf, in inland waters, in the territorial sea and the adjacent zone of the Russian Federation are considered. The infrastructural features of the region are analyzed, which entail certain difficulties for operating organizations, if necessary, the prompt delivery of emergency rescue units and equipment for the localization and elimination of oil and petroleum product spills. Based on the results of the analysis, proposals and recommendations are presented on the harmonization of legislation in the field of prevention and elimination of oil and petroleum product spills, taking into account the climatic and geographical features of the location of fuel and energy complex facilities.
