The basic activity carried out within the oil scaffolding consists in the extraction of crude oil and gases from the deposits in their exploitation, their collection, separation of phases (crude oil, reservoir water, gas), crude oil treatment, storage and sending to users. Contamination of the field related to drilling-extraction wells with crude oil, heavy petroleum products, salt water, various chemicals, etc. has a random character, but with undesirable implications on soil, surface water and / or groundwater, depending on the nature of the pollutant, its quantity and area of spread Pollution sources in the oil industry, both systematic and accidental, have a greater or lesser spread, depending on the size of the field, t...

One of the most important aspects of risk management is the integration and inclusion of public interests and values, the mediation of interest groups, local administration agencies, and other institutions responsible for setting the specified criteria for the evaluation of priority strategies. Such risks are also present in OMV Petrom and through this paper the main objective is to identify these risks and to find the right solutions in their management and reduction. OMV Petrom's risk management system is fully integrated into the company's business and all staff has overall responsibility to identify and report risks. The hazard from emissions of hazardous substances depends on their physicochemical and toxicological properties, the exposure time and the weather conditions, which determine their dispersion in the low atmosphere. Accidental risks that can cause very large losses depending on their proportion can reach the level of catastrophes, but financial risks play an important role in that they more precisely determine the evolution of society. Taking into account the continuous development process of the company, we aim to implement the risk management process in the new activities. That is why risk awareness, risk analysis, as well as their control are part of daily activity, thus supporting the company's strategy. The paper presents the conclusions of the study and the proposals that can help the company in the risk management of the industry in which it operates, namely that of oil and gas.

The economic crisis has influenced the indicators of social exclusion such as monetary poverty and living conditions, education and the access to labour market. The index “risk of poverty or social exclusion” is influenced by certain characteristics of the population (education level of parents, country of birth, degree of urbanization, activity, household type, age, tenure status, citizenship, sex etc.) being able to identify the most disadvantaged subgroups of it. This paper analyzes the evolution of this index in the European Union, taken in consideration its determinants.
