Abstract

Studies were conducted to identify agro-ecological condition of the soil in the former oil well drilling site, remediated
before 1994. Parameters of microbiological indicators of background soil and soil at various points near the well drill
were determined. Comparative assessment of the state of the soil microflora at selected points in terms of size,
structure and function of microbial cenoses was conducted. It was found that the most of studied soil parameters at
various observation points deviate from the background soil in an unfavorable direction. In addition the reducing the
biological activity was observed. The possibility and practicability of using the most informative set of biological
indicators to assess the status of remediated soil and effectiveness of remediation of soils contaminated with
components of drilling mud during crude oil and gas production has been shown.
