Abstract
In connection with the existing problem of permafrost soil thawing in the Arctic zone of Russia, it seems relevant to use space images to decipher thermal objects at the fields of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous District to identify soil deformation zones. Spatial and statistical analysis of satellite temperature data, hydrocarbon output and the number of operating flare units was carried out by the example of 16 fields in the Purovsky administrative region of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous District. A correlation has been established between hydrocarbon output and the calculated area of thermal zones. The spatial analysis of the location of thermal installations reflects their possible adverse impact on the environment in the form of thawing and deformation of permafrost landscapes.
