Theoretical and Legal Analysis of the Conceptual Apparatus in the Field of Construction and Operation of Linear Objects of the Oil and Gas Complex
( Pp. 116-121)

The article is devoted to the study of existing approaches to the definition of the term "linear object" in the current legislation, scientific literature and law enforcement practice, as well as identifying the place of linear objects in the structure of oil and gas facilities. As a result of the conducted research, the conclusion is proved that the modern scientific definition of the oil and gas complex, which means "a group of economic sectors that collectively provide a single technological cycle for the extraction, transportation and processing of oil and gas, as well as related services" does not take into account other linear objects not related to the transportation of oil and gas, which, however, seem to be of sufficient importance to ensure the functioning of the oil and gas complex. According to the author, the modern oil and gas complex of the Russian Federation should be represented as a single vertically integrated technological facility, which includes facilities directly related to the development of oil and gas fields, oil and gas service facilities, as well as oil and gas infrastructure facilities, while linear objects of the oil and gas complex can relate to both objects of the oil and gas service group (main pipeline transport facilities) and oil and gas infrastructure facilities (roads, power lines, railway tracks, etc.). Also, in the absence of regulatory consolidation of the concept of "linear object of the oil and gas complex" in the current legislation, the author formulates its legal concept.
