Abstract. Located in the north of Western Siberia, in conditions of harsh climate and permafrost, the Yamal Peninsula not only has unique climate and geographic characteristics but also holds the largest natural gas and oil reserves in the world, as well as various minerals (stone, clay, sand).

The peninsula is situated in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, in the very heart of the Russian Arctic, where up to 80 % of the country’s domestic natural gas is extracted annually, thereby ensuring the country’s energy security and contributing to its stable economic development. Currently, a significant portion of the land in the region is used by enterprises in the fuel and energy complex for resource extraction. However, this activity is inevitably associated with the creation of large-scale infrastructure, including the use of heavy machinery for the construction of roads, pipelines, production and storage facilities, as well as other industrial objects, which, in turn, leads to negative environmental consequences. Soil degradation, contamination of soil and water bodies with hydrocarbons and heavy metals requires the implementation of comprehensive measures aimed at restoring disturbed areas and minimizing anthropogenic impact.

This article discusses existing methods of land reclamation in disturbed areas, using the example of the Nadym District of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug. The effectiveness of these methods is evaluated, along with the challenges posed by harsh climatic and natural conditions, and the prospects for applying modern reclamation techniques in the permafrost conditions of the studied area.
