The source: a decommissioned well whose rusty screws ooze with oil, viscid like jam.\u003cbr/\u003eThis is the face of Russia's oil country - a sprawling, inhospitable zone that experts say represents the world's worst ecological oil catastrophe. \u003cbr/\u003eEnvironmentalists estimate at least 1 percent of Russia's annual oil production, or 5 million tons of oil (35 (m) million barrels), is spilled every year.\u003cbr/\u003eThat's equivalent to one Deepwater Horizon-scale leak about every two months. Crumbling infrastructure and a harsh climate combine to spell disaster in the world's largest oil producer, responsible for 13 percent of global output.\u003cbr/\u003eOil, stubbornly seeping through rusty pipelines and old wells, contaminates soil, kills all plants that grow on it and destroys habitats for mammals and birds. \u003cbr/\u003eHalf a million tons (3.5 (m) million barrels) of oil every year get into rivers that flow into the Arctic Ocean, the government says, upsetting the delicate environmental balance in those waters.\u003cbr/\u003eIt's part of a legacy of environmental destruction that has plagued Russia and the countries of its former Soviet empire for decades.\u003cbr/\u003eRegular environmental disasters range from the nuclear horrors of Chernobyl in Ukraine to lethal chemical waste in the Russian city of Dzerzhinsk and paper mill pollution seeping into Siberia's Lake Baikal, home to one-fifth of the world's supply of fresh water.\u003cbr/\u003eOil spills in Russia are less dramatic than disasters in the Gulf of Mexico or the North Sea - more the result of a drip-drip of leaked crude than a sudden explosion. But they're more numerous than in any other oil-producing nation including insurgency-hit Nigeria, and combined they spill far more than anywhere else in the world, scientists say.\u003cbr/\u003eIt's an everyday occurrence, says Greenpeace Russia campaigns director, Ivan Blokov:\u003cbr/\u003e\"Generally in Russia there are around 28 (thousand) pipeline breaks in the oil industry which includes around 15 thousand pipeline breaks directly transporting oil. That's an official record. In reality the figure is much much more because not all leaks are reported. In terms of oil leaks to the ground, it is a few million tons of oil continuing to leak to the ground in the country annually - most likely from 5 to 10 million tons a year.\"\u003cbr/\u003eNo hard figures on the scope of oil spills in Russia are available but, in a nation with an annual production of about 500 (m) million tons (3.5 billion barrels), Greenpeace estimates that at least 5 (m) million tons leak every year - a figure accepted by the Russian government's own Institute of the Environment and Genetics of Microorganisms.\u003cbr/\u003eThe figure is derived from two sources: Russian state-funded research that shows 10-15 percent of Russian oil leakage enters rivers; and a 2010 report commissioned by the Natural Resources Ministry that shows nearly 500,000 tons of oil slips into rivers in northern Russian every year and flow into the Arctic. \u003cbr/\u003eThe estimate is considered conservative: The Russian Economic Development Ministry in a report last year estimated spills at up to 20 (m) million tons (140 million barrels) per year.\u003cbr/\u003eThat astonishing number - for which the ministry offered no elaboration - appears to be based partly on the fact most small leaks in Russia go unreported. Under Russian law, leaks of less than 8 tons (56 barrels) are classified only as \"incidents\" and carry no penalties.\u003cbr/\u003eGreenpeace Head of Research Tony Sadownichik says it's a very Russian response:\u003cbr/\u003e\"In most other countries there would be a greater sense of responsibility. There would be a greater effort, a greater investment put into cleaning up these areas. Of course, these happen all over the world, but certainly these do not cost a lot of money to actually to remedy if one wants to put the investment into it.\"\u003cbr/\u003eRussian oil spills also elude detection because most happen in the vast swaths of unpopulated tundra and taiga in the north, either caused by ruptured pipes or leakage from decommissioned wells.\u003cbr/\u003eWeather conditions in most oil provinces are brutal, with temperatures routinely dropping below minus 40 degrees Celsius (minus 40 Fahrenheit) in winter. That makes pipelines brittle and prone to rupture unless they're regularly replaced and their condition monitored.\u003cbr/\u003eEven counting only the 500,000 tons officially reported to be leaking into northern rivers every year, Russia is by far the worst oil polluter in the world.\u003cbr/\u003eNigeria, which produces five times less oil than Russia, logged 110,000 tons (770,000 barrels) spilled in 2009, much of that due to rebel attacks on pipelines.\u003cbr/\u003eThe United States, the world's third-largest oil producer, logged 341 pipeline ruptures in 2010 - compared to Russia's 18,000 - with 17,600 tons (123,000 barrels) of oil leaking as a result, according to the U.S. Department of Transport. Spills have averaged 14,900 tons (104,000 barrels) tons a year between 2001 and 2010.\u003cbr/\u003eCanada, which produces oil in weather conditions as harsh as Russia's, does not see anything near Russia's scale of disaster. Eleven pipeline accidents were reported to Canada's Transport Safety Board last year, while media reports of leaks, ranging from sizable spills to a tiny leak in a farmer's backyard, come to a total of 7,700 tons (54,000 barrels) a year.\u003cbr/\u003eIn Norway, Russia's northwestern oil neighbour, spills amounted to some 3,000 tons (21,000 barrels) a year in the past few years, according to Norway's Climate and Pollution Agency.\u003cbr/\u003eNow that Russian companies are moving to the Arctic to tap vast yet hard-to-get oil and gas riches, scientists voice concerns that Russia's outdated technologies and shoddy safety record make for a potential environmental calamity there.\u003cbr/\u003eGazprom neft, an oil subsidiary of the gas giant Gazprom, is preparing to drill for oil in the Arctic's Pechora Sea, even as environmentalists complain that the drilling platform is outdated and that the company is not ready to deal with potential accidents.\u003cbr/\u003eGovernment scientists admit that Russia does not currently have the required technology to develop Arctic fields but say it's years before the country will actually start drilling. \u003cbr/\u003eIn 1994, the republic of Komi - where Usinsk is located - became the scene of Russia's largest oil spill when an estimated 100,000 tons (700,000 barrels) splashed from an aging pipeline.\u003cbr/\u003eHundreds of hectares of soil were destroyed in the 1994 oil spill, killing plants and animals. Up to 40 kilometres (25 miles) of two local rivers were polluted with oil, killing thousands of fish. In villages most affected by the spill, respiratory diseases rose by some 28 percent in the year following the leak.\u003cbr/\u003eSeen from a helicopter, the oil production area is dotted with pitch-black ponds. Fresh leaks are easy to find once you step into the tundra north of Usinsk, less than 60 kilometres (40 miles) south of the Arctic Circle.\u003cbr/\u003eThe easiest way to spot a leak is to find a dying tree. Fir-trees - with grey, dry branches leaning to the ground - look like they've been scorched by a wildfire. But they are merely growing from soil polluted by oil, deadly for plants.\u003cbr/\u003eThe local city administration of Usinsk say they have no powers to influence the operations of oil companies, blaming Lukoil.\u003cbr/\u003eKomi's environmental protection officials also blamed oil companies. The local prosecutor's office said in a report earlier this year that the main problem is \"that companies that extract hydrocarbons focus on making profits rather than how to use the resources rationally.\"\u003cbr/\u003eValery Bratenkov works as a foreman at oil fields outside Usinsk.\u003cbr/\u003eAfter hours, he's an activist of a local environmental group, the Committee to Save the Pechora, named after the local river. Bratenkov used to point out to his Lukoil bosses that oil spills routinely happen under their noses and asked them to repair the pipelines. They refused, citing cost.\u003cbr/\u003e\"This spring oil was flowing under the ice of Kolva river. All the fishermen came out, looked in the holes and found oil instead of fish. When they were taking nets from the water, they were all covered in oil.\"\u003cbr/\u003eLocal environmental activists like Bratenkov find it hard if not impossible to hold authorities to account in the area since some 90 percent of the local population is made up of oil workers and their families who have moved from other regions of Russia, and are dependent upon the industry for their livelihood.\u003cbr/\u003eRepresentatives of Lukoil denied claims that they try to conceal spills and leaks, and said that no more than 2.7 tons (19 barrels) leaked last year from its production areas in Komi.\u003cbr/\u003eIvan Blokov, campaign director at Greenpeace Russia, who studies oil spills, said the situation in Komi is replicated across Russia's oil producing regions, which stretch from the Black Sea in the southwest to the Chinese border in Russia's Far East.\u003cbr/\u003e\"The system is old and it is not replaced in time by no one oil company in the country. And I wouldn't stress attention on this particular company (Lukoil) or regional situation. It is everywhere, as I say, with one exception of Samotlor where it is even worse than here.\"\u003cbr/\u003eWhat also worries scientists and environmentalists is that oil spills are not confined to abandoned or aging fields. Alarmingly, accidents happen at brand new pipelines.\u003cbr/\u003eAt least 400 tons (2,800 barrels) leaked from a new pipeline in two separate accidents in Russia's Far East last year, according to media reports and oil companies. Transneft's pipeline that brings Russian oil from Eastern Siberia to China was put into operation just months before the two spills happened.\u003cbr/\u003eThe oil industry in Komi has been sapping nature for decades, killing or forcing out reindeer and fish. Locals like the 63-year-old Bratenkov are afraid that when big oil leaves, there will only be a poisoned terrain left in its wake.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv
