Nevertheless, they can also be injurious to the health of living beings and the earth's ecosystem. Most of these chemicals when released, can exhibit unfavourable effects on our environment, such as air, water and soil pollution. The article proposes environmental and econometric approaches to the study of the limiting and stimulating factors of the innovative development of oil and gas and chemical regions in the Russian context. The management of the economy of the petrochemical regions is a fairly dynamic process since over time; there is a change in the external and internal and ecosystem conditions that affect the development of the regions. External conditions include the political situation, economic and geographical position, degree of participation in the territorial division of labor and so forth. The internal conditions include the existing natural resource and technical-production potential, the degree of favorable demographic situation, the achieved level of innovative potential, the development of communication routes, etc. Finally, the environmental conditions include potential harmful impacts produced by chemical release, and Unsafe emissions may be due to improper production process and so on. It should be borne in mind that the more dynamically the economic sphere of regions develops, the faster innovation is perceived. However, the process of restructuring the economic systems of the regions during the transformation period continues, which is associated with a number of objective reasons that are caused by historical conditions. The previous type of the country's economic system was planned. This allowed in a fairly short time to build a large number of diverse industries, even in areas with extreme conditions for human habitation.
