The development of hydrocarbon deposits on the Sakhalin shelf is one of the main components of JSC. Gazprom’s Eastern gas program. When drilling mud is used in the process of drilling wells, one of the most important components in the installation is a circulation system designed for cleaning the drilling mud from solid and gaseous phases, storing it and then feeding it into the well. In the light of the above, the study of this field, the chemical nature and directions of rational use of condensates is particularly relevant and modern. The purpose of the work is to conduct an audit of the polar Star drilling platform, study the operation of the installed equipment for the possibility of using hydrocarbon-based solutions. In the course of research and calculations, there were identified problematic equipment nodes that need to be completed. It is concluded that at the moment the Polyarnaya Zvezda oil drilling platform is not ready to use hydrocarbon-based solutions, but it is also not ready for safe and organized drilling operations. Without fixing the identified problem systems, drilling operations will be very difficult and environmentally unsafe.
