At the moment provisions of the normative documents regulating design of objects of the oil and gas sphere need cardinal updating. The existing regulatory base of objects of an oil and gas complex is submitted mostly by the departmental normative documents accepted and which are put into operation even at the time of existence of the USSR. In process of development of technologies of fire extinguishing and fire-prevention rationing, already in the twenty first century, a number of recommendations issued by the leading scientific organizations of our country and directed to optimization and increase in fire-prevention protection of objects of an oil and gas complex has been accepted. At the same time it should be noted especially the fact that the above-stated departmental norms and recommendations, despite their practical importance, cannot be reference documents according to provisions of the Federal Law No. 384 and subordinate acts adopted to it. Owing to the available perspective of design and passing of state examination of the specified objects, development of the project documentation is preceded almost everywhere by the procedure of development and coordination in accordance with the established procedure of special specifications on design of fire-prevention protection. The feature of special specifications consists first of all in need of representation of those on a concrete capital construction project that negatively influences terms of design and passing of the state examination. It is advisable to reflect the approved technical solutions coordinated within special specifications and which have confirmed the efficiency on the realized objects in the corresponding sets of rules (the updated versions of departmental normative documents) that will promote substantially reduction of administrative barriers.
