definition. Therefore, in oil and gas texts, as a rule, there are no similar, expressive
means; words are used predominantly in the literal sense, the frequency of terms

also contributes to the uniqueness of the text.
The rigorous accuracy requirements imposed on a oil and gas text make

restrictions on the use of figurative means of speech: metaphors, epithets, artistic
comparisons, proverbs, etc. Sometimes such means can penetrate into oil and gas

works, because the scientific style seeks not only for accuracy, but also for

persuasiveness, evidence. Sometimes such means are needed to implement the

requirement of clarity, the feasibility of presentation.

Emotionality, as well as expressiveness, in the scientific style, which

requires an objective, "intellectual" presentation of scientific data, is expressed

differently than in other styles. The perception of a oil and gas work may cause

certain feelings to the reader, but not as an appropriate response to the author's

emotionality, but as an awareness of the scientific fact itself. Although the

scientific discovery affects regardless of the method of its transmission, the author

of the oil and gas work does not always abandon the emotional and appraisal

attitude to the facts and events that he reports. The desire to restrict the use of the

author's "I" is not a tribute to etiquette, but a manifestation of an abstract,

generalized style of a scientific language that reflects the form of thinking.

A characteristic feature of the oil and gas works' style is their richness in

terms (in particular, international). However, one should not overestimate the

degree of this saturation: on average, the terminology of the vocabulary is usually

15-25 percent of the general vocabulary used in the work.

An important role in the style of oil and gas works is the use of abstract

vocabulary.

The vocabulary of the scientific language consists of three basic layers:

commonly used words, general oil and gas words and terms. In any oil and gas

text, commonly used vocabulary is the basis for the presentation. First of all, words

are selected with a generalized and abstract meaning (being, consciousness, fix,

temperature). With the help of general oil and gas words, phenomena and
