Oil industry

oil industry of the world is an international industrial sector, which includes oil and gas exploration and oil fields, oil, associated gas, pipeline transportation of fossil.Production, in turn, includes drilling, field development and other work.

It should be noted that the oil industry in Russia is a highly developed industry.This is due to the geographical features of the country.Until 1992, the year in proven reserves of Russia was second in the world after Saudi Arabia.Stocks Russia today is about 20.2 billion tons.In 1991 they accounted for about 23.5 billion tons.

However, Russia is developing the oil industry in recent years is not as fast as in previous years.According to experts, the country reserves are located too low verifiability projected reserves.They significantly reduce the overall security of Russian natural reserves.In addition, a large share of deposits and the high cost of development and exploration.Of all the stocks at the disposal of the oil industry in Russia, about 55% have a high productivity.

Particular attention is given to specialist stocks, supposedly located on the territory of Western Siberia.It is due to their projected major increase in reserves of the country forty percent.However, in this case, the oil industry will become mostly low-yielding fields.That amount is expected to produce in the region, - the limit of profitability for him.

It should be noted that the economic crisis has affected not only the fuel and energy industry of individual countries, but also, as a consequence, the global oil market as a whole.

should be noted that the decline in Russia began to celebrate in 1989, the year.Markedly reduced oil production.The volume of crude oil, even in the richest region - Tyumen region - dropped from 394's of millions of tons to 307 million.The oil industry in the country today enjoys a prominent decrease in high-growth stocks, deterioration in the quality of raw materials and a decrease in the pace of exploration work on the fields.At the same time experts note and a reduction in production drilling, and increase the number of idle wells, widespread transition to mechanized mining methods on the background of a sharp decrease in the number of flowing wells.Equally important are the lack of any significant reserves as large deposits, and the need to engage in the exploitation of stocks that are in a difficult and precarious areas.

Russia's first wells were drilled in 1864 in the Kuban.Thus one of the wells gave a fountain hundred ninety tons per day production rate.While oil production was carried out largely monopolies, which depended on foreign capital.By the twentieth century, Russia began to occupy a leading position in the oil industry of the world.At the beginning of the century on oil production has accounted for approximately eleven million tons.During the Civil War there was a significant slowdown.Later, in the thirties, oil production increased again to 11.6 million tons.

In the first years of Soviet power the main deposits are located in areas of the North Caucasus (Maikop, Grozny).However, it should be said that the war caused significant damage to these areas, which in turn reduced the volume of production at times.In the post-war period in parallel with the restoration of North field were introduced to the development of large pools of the Volga-Urals region.By 1960, the ninth year the percentage of the production in these areas has risen to seventy-one.
