Oil and gas industry shows the danger of this kind of industry, including from the environmental point of view. Entering the waters of marginal seas and ocean significantly aggravated the situation, moving a significant part of the emergency situations related to hydrocarbon production, the level of regional and global. The use of new technologies in the production of shale hydrocarbons added new problems - the total probability of contamination of large amounts of geological space highly toxic chemicals. Tracking down of a new perspective mineral energy source - gas hydrates - allows to plan only while possible passing dangers, but shows, that the ecological risk can many times more. For opposition to threat of occurrence of emergencies in connection with growth of extraction of hydrocarbons expediently creation at a national level of special structures of the control and fast reaction. Such structures can be if necessary opened for the international cooperation, and are entered into jurisdiction of the United Nations Organization.
