Abstract
Problem Statement (Relevance). The activities of mining enterprises are associated with a large-scale negative impact on the subsoil due to the extraction of minerals and the resulting man-caused subsoil voids, leading to a significant negative impact on all elements of the natural environment. These negative impacts are accompanied by the transformation of the natural environment in pollution and deterioration of the chemical composition of atmospheric air and water resources, alienation, disturbance and pollution of land, in general leading to significant economic losses due to the need to compensate for damage caused. At the same time, it should be noted that man-caused subsoil voids, along with the negative impact, can also be used as a resource. To minimize the damage caused and choose the area of their use, it is required to carry out an appropriate comparative economic assessment at the stage of the field development design. This predetermines the need to include additional indicators of the economic cost of damage, as a result of the formation of man-caused voids during field development, in the methodology of such economic assessment of efficiency of field development. Objectives. The research is aimed at using a comparative assessment of field development options, factoring into the parameters of man-caused voids and the environmental and economic efficiency of their use, to provide a rationale for the need to choose the area of their use at the stage of the field development design. Result. It has been found that in addition to conventional indicators of economic efficiency of field development, it is also necessary to use the criterion of damage caused in value terms.
