Abstract:

The southern districts of the Tyumen Region for the long time were separated from the massive geological exploration like in northern districts due to the lack of hydrocarbons raw materials. This concept has formed long ago, but the latest researches changed the concept. Nowadays, great amounts of hydrocarbons were discovered in southern district and even 10 mln tons per year are extracted in one district.

This article observes the example of resource potential basing on Tobolsk district and the city of Tobolsk. The characteristics of construction materials, agrochemical materials, solid extractable materials, subsurface waters, hydrocarbon supplies, and hydrocarbon materials is emphasized. The resources devotion to the geology-geomorphological deposits is observed. The data of sand, clay, turf, organic slime, titan-zirconium deposits, subsurface waters, including mineral waters, is given. The modern condition of resource use is presented.
