Amoco has been involved in the Priobskoye area since 1991. In 1993 Amoco was chosen to be the foreign partner in the development of the Priobskoye oil field. In conjunction with its bid and financing proposals Amoco has conducted extensive
talks with local people, government regulators, and Russian partners to identify environmental concerns.
In its Draft EnvironmentalImpact Statement conducted to meet international lending institution requirements
(Yuganskneftegaz and Amoco, 1995) Amoco included extensive
field studies of wildlife,
fisheries, vegetation, soils, and water. Amoco also produced a socioeconomic profile of the local communities. Amoco provided these data for the use of the Oil and Gas Subgroup.
