Abstract:

Although sixty years have passed since the exploration of the first gas and fifty years — since the first oil exploration, their supplies are still big. Moreover, only a few oilfields exist where oil and gas production was stopped because of the field exhaustion. Conservated fields are also quite few. The success of geological exploration as well as the use of new techniques and technologies help to put off the exhaustion time. Currently, about 800 hydrocarbonic fields are discovered on the territory of Tyumen region. More than a half of them are located in the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug, 1/3 in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, and 5% in the south of Tyumen region. Geographically, oil consisting fields are located more southwards, while gas and gas condensate consisting fields are located in the northern part of it including the Kara Sea. Because of the economic importance of hydrocarbon resources extracted of the area in question, it is crucial to know the amount and quality of them.
