GAS FIELDS OF THE YAMAL-NENETS AUTONOMOUS DISTRICT, the main source of natural gas produced in Russia.

To share Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug (YNAO) accounts for about 75% of Russia's proven natural gas reserves and 22% of world reserves. The initial total reserves are estimated at 93 trillion cubic meters. m; over the years of industrial development, more than 10 trillion cubic meters have been extracted from the subsoil of the district. m of gas. Russia produces 530 billion cubic meters annually. m, 90% of them - in YaNAO. Blue fuel is transported through the pipes of the main gas pipelines to the Urals, European Russia, France, Austria, Italy, Germany and other countries. The resource of the 24 largest deposits is estimated at 13 trillion cubic meters. m. Among them are world-famous giants: Zapolyarnoye, Urengoyskoye, Medvezhye, Yamburgskoye, Bovanenkovskoye and others.

The idea of the need to search for oil and gas in Western Siberia was put forward in the 1930s. vice-president of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR I.M. Gubkin, who led geological research in the eastern regions of Russia. In 1934 N.A. Gedroits on the left bank of the Yenisei, in the lower reaches of the Greater and Lesser Hittites, revealed the first outflows of combustible gas. On September 21, 1953, on the outskirts of the ancient village of Berezovo, a powerful gas fountain hit from a well, announcing the birth of the West Siberian oil and gas province. Further development was facilitated by the creation in 1958 in Salekhard Yamalo-Nenets complex geological exploration expedition led by V.D. Bovanenko, as well as the Taz oil exploration expedition. In 1961, the first deep exploration well was laid on the Taz Peninsula.

A new stage in the formation of the gas foothold began in 1962 with the discovery of the Tazovskoye oil and gas condensate field (525 km northeast of Salekhard). From a depth of 2.2 thousand meters, a gas fountain with a flow rate of 1.5 million cubic meters was clogged. m per day. Further, production volumes increased rapidly. The proof of the prospects of the Yamal gas-bearing structures was the deposits discovered in the district in subsequent years. The biggest success was the discovery in 1965 in the Purovsky district at a minimum depth (700 m) of a powerful gas reservoir, which gave rise to 2 giant gas condensate oil fields: Gubkinskoye with gas reserves of 350 billion cubic meters. m and (in the future) Zapolyarnoye. IN as soon as possible a geological map of the oil and gas bearing territories of the Far North of Western Siberia was compiled.

In 1966, the "epoch of big gas" began in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug. Having drilled a well on the bank of the Evoyakha River, the drilling crew of the Nadym oil exploration expedition received a gas fountain with a flow rate of about 7 million cubic meters. m per day. This is how the super-giant Urengoy oil and gas condensate field was discovered. On May 30, 1967, the first cubic meter of gas was produced in a well at the supergiant Medvezhye gas condensate field. No less successful was 1968. The Arctic gas and Russian oil and gas fields appeared on the geological map. In 1969, the discovery of the supergiant Yamburg gas condensate oil field followed. In the 1970-80s. movement to the northeast continued. In addition to the supergiant Bovanenkovskoye field 470 km north of Salekhard (1971), geologists discovered a number of giant deposits: Severo-Urengoyskoye (1970), Kharasaveyskoye, South Tambeyskoye (1974), North Tambeyskoye (1982). In 1985, the Karsk expedition discovered the Malyginskoye gas condensate field (650 km northeast of Salekhard). In the late 1980s geologists of Arktikmorneftegazrazvedka went to the Kara Sea, where they discovered 2 giant gas condensate fields (1989 - Rusanovskoye, 1990 - Leningradskoye).

Immediately after the discovery of the largest deposits, their development followed. Late 1960s - early 1970s became a time of grandiose industrial construction for the YNAO. The country received the first cubic meters of Yamal gas after the “red joint” was welded on May 20, 1972, on the Medvezhye-Nadym-Punga gas pipeline, which reached the Urals in the same year. In 1981, the Urengoy-Cherepovets-Moscow gas pipeline was brought to its design capacity. In the 1970-80s. a gas transmission system with a length of more than 20,000 km was created. The turning point in domestic gas production was 1984, when the USSR, thanks to the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, took first place in the world in gas production, and the Tyumen oilfielders reached a record figure of 1 billion cubic meters. m per day. By 1986, the district had already given the country 2 trillion cubic meters. m of gas, and with the development of Yamburg in 1988, the 3rd trillion was also extracted. In 1992, the YNAO reached its maximum gas production - 556 billion cubic meters. m. In 2000, production amounted to 512 billion cubic meters. m, in 2002 - 509 billion cubic meters. m. In 2001, there was a historical event: produced the 10th trillion cubic meters. m of gas.

The present day of Yamal gas is connected with the state concern Gazprom , established in 1989 on the basis of the Ministry of Gas Industry of the USSR. The largest of its subsidiaries operate in the YaNAO: Urengoygazprom (which produced 180 billion cubic meters of gas in 2001), Yamburggazdobycha (174 billion), Nadymgazprom (71 billion), Noyabrskgazdobycha (35 billion). The first two enterprises use unique deposits: Urengoyskoye and Yamburgskoye. In connection with their entry into a phase of declining production in 2001, the 3rd unique gas field, Zapolyarnoye, was developed. The immediate prospects for the development of the industry are associated with the study of deep horizons. At the beginning of the XXI century. the exploration of gas resources below 3 thousand m is 8 times less than at depths up to 1.5 thousand m. shelf of the Kara Sea.

Yamal-Nenets autonomous region- storeroom of Russia. The mineral resources of the district are large and varied. The hydrocarbon deposits are confined to the northern part of the West Siberian oil and gas province, which includes the Gydan, Nadym-Pur, Pur-Tazov and South Yamal oil and gas regions. In terms of oil reserves and production, the district ranks second in Russia.

The state balance takes into account 136 fields (62 oil, 6 oil and gas, 9 gas and oil, 59 oil and gas condensate), the explored recoverable reserves of which amount to 14.49% of all oil reserves in Russia. 37 deposits are being developed, the annual production was 8.5%. Of the 136 fields in the district, one is unique - Russkoye, with oil reserves - 16.15% of the district and 30 large ones, on which 67.25% of the reserves and 69.1% of the district's oil production are concentrated. The cumulative oil production in the district is 375.2 million tons. The predicted oil resources are also highly estimated both on land and especially on the shelf of the Kara Sea. Prepared for deep exploratory drilling of 277 promising structures.

The role of the district in the reserves and production of natural gas is great. There are well-known fields in terms of gas reserves - Urengoyskoye, Medvezhye, Leningradskoye and Rusanovskoye - on the shelf of the Kara Sea. The state balance takes into account 194 natural gas fields, incl. two on the shelf. Excluding associated gas from oil fields, the reserves of gas fields proper (132 fields) account for 75.3% of all free gas reserves in Russia; of these, only 27 fields are being developed, which account for 90% of Russia's total gas production. The Okrug produced 502.8 billion m3, or 0.3% of the gas extracted from the bowels.

Reserves of condensate-containing gas as of 01.01.98 refined at 94 fields and account for 29% of all free gas. The main reserves (78.8%) and production of free gas (93.7%) are located at 18 unique fields. 256 areas prepared for deep drilling are classified as promising for free gas.

In the regions adjacent to the Polar Urals and geologically poorly studied, there are numerous promising manifestations and deposits of manganese and chromium ores, ores of non-ferrous and rare metals (lead, zinc, copper, molybdenum, antimony, tantalum, niobium, etc.), primary and alluvial gold, barites, phosphorites, semi-precious raw materials.

More than 300 ore occurrences and deposits of chromites are known in the Polar Urals within three hyperbasite massifs (Rai-Iz, Voykar-Syninsky, Syum-Keu), the total resources of which exceed 600 million tons, of which with high-chromium chromium spinel, suitable for use in the metallurgical industry , 350-400 million tons, incl. more than 6 million tons with a content of chromium trioxide C 42%.

Currently, the exploration of the Tsentralnoye chromite deposit is being completed on the Rayiz massif, and pilot open-pit mining of rich, not requiring enrichment, chromium ore for the metallurgical plants of the Urals is being carried out. The design of the Mining and Processing Plant with a capacity of 300-600 thousand tons of ore per year is being completed.

The Sauren deposit of lead ores has been explored, for which the state balance sheet records 2.9 million tons of ore with a lead content of 6.28%. The Harbey molybdenum deposit has been explored in detail with molybdenum reserves of 1773.97 tons with a content of the main component in the ore of 0.113%.

A group of adjacent deposits with total reserves and resources of 11.5 million tons with a barium sulfate content of 27.5 - 41.2% is available for development. It is planned to develop the Voishorskoye field for the production of barite weighting agent for the West Siberian oil and gas complex.

Introduction

The Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug is the central part of Russia's Arctic facade. The territory of the YNAO is located in the Arctic zone in the north of the world's largest West Siberian Plain and occupies a vast area of more than 750 thousand square kilometers.

More than half of it is located beyond the Polar District, covering the lower reaches of the Ob with tributaries, the basins of the Nadym, Pura and Taz rivers, the Yamal, Tazovsky, Gydansky peninsulas, a group of islands in the Kara Sea (White, Shokalsky, Neupokoeva, Oleniy, etc.), as well as eastern slopes of the Polar Urals. The extreme northern point of the Yamal mainland is located under 73 north latitude, which fully justifies the Nenets name of the peninsula - the Land's End.

The northern border of the district, washed by the waters of the Kara Sea, has a length of 5100 kilometers and is part of the State Border Russian Federation(about 900 kilometers). In the west, along the Ural Range, the Yamal-Nenets Okrug borders on the Nenets Autonomous Okrug and the Komi Republic, in the south - on the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug, in the east - on the Krasnoyarsk Territory.

The relief of the district is represented by two parts: mountainous and flat. Almost 90% of the flat part lies within heights up to 100 meters above sea level; hence many lakes and swamps. The left bank of the Ob has an elevated and rugged relief. The right-bank, mainland part is a slightly hilly plateau with a slight slope to the north. The most elevated areas of the lowland are located in the south of the district within the Siberian ridges.

The mountainous part of the district occupies a narrow strip along the Polar Urals and is a large mountain range with a total length of over 200 kilometers. The average height of the southern massifs is 600-800 meters, and the width is 20-30. The highest peaks are the Belfry Mountains - 1305 meters, Pai-Er - 1499 meters.

To the north, the height of the mountains reaches 1000-1300 meters. The main watershed ridge of the Polar Urals is winding, its absolute heights reach 1200-1300 meters and higher.

The purpose of this work is to study the mining of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug.

To achieve the goal, it is necessary to study the minerals of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug and give a general description of the deposits.

General information about YNAO

The Nenets (Nenet Neney Neneche, Khasovo, Neshchang; obsolete - Samoyeds, Yuraks) are a Samoyed people inhabiting the Eurasian coast of the Arctic Ocean from the Kola Peninsula to Taimyr.

At the beginning of the 1st millennium, they migrated from the territories of southern Siberia to the place of their modern habitat.

The modern name of the Autonomous Okrug of Russia, as the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, mentions the Nenets as the titular nationality inhabiting the Okrug.

The moment of the creation of the Obdorsk fortress or prison, which was founded in 1595 by Russian Cossacks, can be considered the basis for the creation of the Russian state region. Obdorsky prison - now the city of Salekhard (from the Nen. Sale-Kharn "city on the cape") became the northernmost Russian settlement in Siberia at that time.

Subsequently, the lands of the region were part of the vast Siberian province - one of the first eight provinces in Russia, formed in 1708 by Tsar Peter I, as part of the Kingdom of Siberia (with the capital in the city of Tobolsk) during the reign of Catherine II.

In 1921-1922, the territory of the current Yamalo-Nenets Okrug was covered by the West Siberian uprising, including the city of Obdorsk.

The Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug was formed (originally as a national one) as part of the Ural Region on December 10, 1930.

Later it was part of the Ob-Irtysh and Omsk regions, and on August 14, 1944, the district was included in the Tyumen region.

Since 1977, the Yamalo-Nenets Okrug has had the status of an autonomous region. On October 18, 1991, the Yamalo-Nenets Okrug adopted a declaration of sovereignty.

Since 1992, after the signing of the Federal Treaty, the Yamalo-Nenets Okrug became a full-fledged subject of the Russian Federation.

Demography

The population of the district according to Rosstat is 542,190 1 people. (2013). Population density - 0.7 people / km 2 (2013). Urban population - 83.9 1% (2013).

The demographic situation in the district is characterized by a steady natural population growth. In 2010, 8,309 people were born (fertility rate 15.1), 2,885 people died (death rate 5.3), which exceeded last year's figures. In 2009, 8216 people were born (fertility rate 15.1) and 2924 people died (death rate 5.4).

According to the 1959, 1970, 1979, 1989, 2002 and 2010 censuses, the county's national composition was as follows:


	27 789 (44,58 %)	37 518 (46,91 %)	93 750 (59,02 %)	292 808 (59,17 %)	298 359 (58,9 %)	312 019 (61,7 %)

Indigenous peoples of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug

Currently, about 20 peoples live on the territory of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug. Most of them settled in Yamal after the second half of the 20th century, which is associated with the development of the northern lands by the Soviet Union. Only a few peoples have lived in the far north since time immemorial, the territory of the Yamal Peninsula and the Lower Ob is the historical homeland for the Khanty, Nenets, Komi-Izhemtsy, Selkups.

The culture of the people, language and spiritual world are not homogeneous. This is explained by the fact that the Khanty settled quite widely and various cultures were formed in different climatic conditions. The southern Khanty were mainly engaged in fishing, but they also knew agriculture and cattle breeding...

The Nenets inhabit the vast territory of the northern lands of the Russian Federation from the coast of the Arctic Ocean to the Taimyr Peninsula. These are the people of the Samoyed group, who migrated to the northern lands from southern Siberia in the first millennium of our era ...

It is known that the Komi people have been living in the northern lands since the 1st millennium BC. The name Komi comes from the self-name of the people - Komi Voityr, which means Komi people. The northern Komi were reindeer herders, hunters and fishermen, the southern Komi were engaged in hunting and fishing...

Selkups

The Selkups are the smallest people in the north of Russia. The traditional occupations of the Selkups are fishing and hunting. The northern Selkups were engaged in reindeer herding, the southern Selkups knew how to make pottery, process metals, weave canvas, grow grain and tobacco...

Economy

The basis of the economy of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug is oil and gas production.

The main gas producer is OAO Gazprom, which accounts for approximately 90% of the total gas production in the district. More than 30 enterprises produce oil and gas condensate, the main oil producing enterprises in the district are subsidiaries of OAO Gazprom Neft (OAO Gazpromneft-Noyabrskneftegaz and Muravlenkovskneft Branch) and OAO NK Rosneft.

In 2009, 431,945 million m? natural gas, 24,761 thousand tons of oil, 8,824 thousand tons of gas condensate 2 .

Minerals of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug

The region's water resources are rich and diverse. They include: the coast of the Kara Sea, numerous bays and bays, rivers, lakes, swamps and underground waters. The Gulf of Ob, a bay of the Kara Sea, is one of the largest sea bays in the Russian Arctic, its area is 44,000 km². There are about 300,000 lakes and 48,000 rivers on the territory of the Okrug, the largest of which are the Ob at its mouth, as well as the Nadym, Taz (river) and Pur rivers. The Ob River, one of the longest in Russia, flows within the district in two powerful branches. The presence of lakes, most of which are of glacial origin, is one of the characteristic features of the landscape of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug. Groundwater is characterized by a huge artesian basin with an area of 3 million km², which includes reserves of thermal waters.

The Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug is known for its minerals, primarily hydrocarbons. Huge reserves of hydrocarbon raw materials make it possible to call the district the world's largest oil and gas resource base.

The Okrug contains approximately 78% of Russian gas reserves and 18% of oil reserves, concentrated in 232 known hydrocarbon deposits. On the territory of the district, work is underway at the Urengoy gas field, the Nakhodka gas field, the Yuzhno-Russkoye oil and gas field, the Ety-Purovskoye oil field, and the Yamburg oil and gas condensate field. Annually, the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug produces about 80% of all gas produced in Russia and approximately 8% of oil produced in Russia.

The reserves of chromium, iron, tin, lead of precious and non-ferrous metals, and other minerals are mainly concentrated in the western part of the district, in the territory of the Polar Ural Mountains.

General characteristics of deposits

The Yamburgskoye oil and gas condensate field (YANGKM) is a field of gas, gas condensate and oil. Opened in 1969. It is located in the Arctic part of the West Siberian Plain, on the Taz Peninsula in the subarctic zone. The landscape is a slightly hilly tundra plain with a dense network of rivers, streams, lakes, swamps. The thickness of permafrost reaches 400 meters. The coldest month is January with an average temperature of minus 25 degrees Celsius. Often the temperature drops to 55 and below. A minus temperature of 63 degrees was registered (January 2006). Commercial gas content has been established in the Cenomanian and Neocomian deposits. The dimensions of the YANGKM are 170 by 50 kilometers. According to VNIIZarubezhgeology, the Yamburgskoye field ranks third in the world in terms of initial recoverable gas reserves.

According to the administrative-territorial division, the northern territory of the deposit is located in the Tazovsky, and the southern - in the Nadymsky district of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug. The development of the deposit started in 1980 (see Yamburg). The development license is held by OOO Gazprom dobycha Yamburg, a 100% subsidiary of OAO Gazprom.

The discovery of the Yamburgskoye and other deposits was prepared by geologists at the very "peak" of the Great Patriotic War. In 1943, their first groups pitched tents in the area of the Taz, Pur, and Messo rivers.

In 1959, oil and gas prospecting in the Tazovsky region resumed. In 1961, geologists landed at the site of the current settlement of Gaz-Sale and started drilling well No. 1. The team of master N. I. Ryndina led the tunneling. September 27, 1962 "hit" gas. A year later, the Tazov oil exploration expedition was formed with a base in Novaya Mangazeya. V. T. Podshibyakin was appointed head of the expedition, and G. P. Bystrov, chief geologist. On November 30, 1963, gas was obtained from the second well. Drilling was conducted by the team of master N. I. Ryndin. So the Tazovskoye field was discovered. On October 18, 1965, the expedition discovered the Zapolyarnoye oil and gas condensate field. 60-70 years were marked for the expedition by a whole series of major discoveries, in this series the largest are Urengoy and Yamburg.

In the 1965-1966 season, the Upper Cretaceous deposits of the Yamburgskaya area were prepared for exploratory drilling.

In 1968, a landing party of geophysicists landed on this site under the leadership of Leonid Kabaev, the future Lenin Prize laureate. Next came the miners of the bowels of the Taz oil exploration expedition. The reserves were supposed to be huge.

In his memoirs, geologist F. K. Salmanov tells how the Yamburgskoye field was found: “At the end of April 1969, it was decided to deliver the drilling rig from Tazovskaya to the Yamburgskaya area. The entire May was the delivery of equipment and materials. In July, the team of Anatoly Grebenkin completed the installation, and immediately the team of the drilling foreman V.V. Romanov began counting the first meters of the Yamburg well. On August 13, they reached the design depth and, during testing, the well gave a powerful gas fountain. Inspired by success, Romanov went to its contouring along the wings of the deposit to the east. And a few more wells hit the contour.”

In 1972, a team of drilling foreman V.V. Polupanov completed the drilling of a deep well in the Yamburgskaya area. The test was entrusted to a specially formed team, led by master Alexei Myltsev.

In the 19th century, the expedition of the scientist Yu. M. Kushelevsky arrived in these lands to establish the boundaries of the medieval settlement - Mangazeya "gold-boiling", which existed on the Taz River in the 17th century. The expedition arrived in the Far North of the empire on a schooner called "Taz". The leader of the campaign was from Yamburg. This was the name of the city of Kingisepp, located near St. Petersburg.

During the voyage, the scientist compiled a map of the Taz Peninsula. It is assumed that the name of Cape Yumbor, ("cloudberry tussocks") reminded him of the name hometown. So one of the triangular land areas penetrating the Taz Bay was named Yamburga. In Soviet times, the Yamburg trading post appeared on the cape.

At the site of the current Yamburg shift camp, the researcher left a blank spot. "Terra incognita" - an unknown land. It is assumed that the Yamburgskaya area was named after the trading post, and later the Yamburgskoye field.

There is another toponymic version, according to which the territory on which the deposit is located was originally called Yampur - the Gray Swamp. Then it was renamed to Yamburg.

During the operation of the Yamburgskoye oil and gas condensate field, Gazprom dobycha Yamburg, a 100% subsidiary of OAO Gazprom, produced more than 3 trillion cubic meters of gas and about 18 million tons of gas condensate. Gas preparation for transportation is carried out at 9 integrated gas treatment units (GTP) (1-7, 9 and 1V) and at 5 preliminary gas treatment units (UPPG) (PPG GP-1 (former UPPG-8), 4A, 10, 2V , 3B).

The immediate prospect of the field is the development of its peripheral areas. Production at the Aneryakhinskaya area began in 2004; in January 2005, the Aneryakhinskaya area was brought to its design capacity (10 billion cubic meters per year).

At the beginning of December 2006, the first commercial gas was supplied to the main gas pipeline from the complex gas treatment unit (UKPG-9) of the Kharvutinskaya area of the YANGKM. In 2007, a preliminary gas treatment unit (UPPG-10) was put into operation, due to which by 2008 it is planned to achieve an annual production of 25 billion m3 at the Kharvutinsky complex. gas.

In the future, Yamburg's infrastructure will be used to treat gas from adjacent fields.

The total geological reserves are estimated at 8.2 trillion m? natural gas. Remaining geological reserves is 5.2 trillion m? natural gas and 42.31% of the total geological reserves of the Yamburgskoye field.

The Urengoyskoye natural gas field is a large gas field, the second largest in the world in terms of reservoir reserves, which exceed 10 trillion cubic meters (10?? m?). Located in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug Tyumen region Russia, slightly south of the Arctic Circle. The name is given by the name of the nearby settlement - the village of Urengoy. Subsequently, a city of gas workers grew up near the field New Urengoy.

The deposit was discovered in June 1966; the seismic station V. Tsybenko became the pioneer of the Urengoy structure. The first exploratory well in Urengoy was drilled on July 6, 1966 by a team of foreman V. Polupanov. Production at the field began in 1978. On February 25, 1981, the first hundred billion cubic meters of natural gas was produced at the Urengoy field. Since January 1984, gas from the Urengoyskoye field has been exported to Western Europe. 5

The state of the operational well stock of the Urengoyskoye field is more than 1300 wells. The field is operated by OOO Gazprom dobycha Urengoy (formerly Urengoygazprom) and OOO Gazprom dobycha Yamburg, subsidiaries of Gazprom. Natural gas production in 2007 amounted to 223 billion cubic meters.

The total geological reserves are estimated at 16 trillion m? natural gas. Remaining geological reserves amount to 10.5 trillion m? natural gas and 65.63% of the total geological reserves of the Urengoy field.

The Yuzhno-Russkoye oil and gas field is located in the Krasnoselkupsky district of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, one of the largest in Russia. The reserves of the field are: gas in category ABC1 - 825.2 billion m?, in category C2 - 208.9 billion m?, oil - 5.7 million tons.

The license to develop the field is held by Severneftegazprom, a subsidiary of Gazprom. The field was officially put into operation on December 18, 2007 by Gazprom and BASF (it is expected that the German company E.ON will also enter the project), but in fact, production at it began at the end of October 2007. Construction of infrastructure at the field has been underway since March 2006. The Yuzhno-Russkoye field will be the main resource base for the North European gas pipeline.

Plan for production at the field for 2008 - 10 billion m? gas, since 2009 - 25 billion m? in year. 6 Actual investment in field development in 2005-2008 amounted to 133 billion rubles.

The Nakhodkinskoye gas field is a natural gas field in the Bolshekhetskaya depression in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug of Russia. The reserves of the deposit are estimated at 275.3 billion m? gas. The design capacity of the field is in the region of 10 billion m? in year.

The field was discovered by the Tazovskaya oil and gas exploration expedition on January 30, 1974. Development of the Nakhodkinskoye field began in November 2003, development drilling - in February 2004. It was put into operation in April 2005.

The deposit is being developed by OOO LUKOIL-Western Siberia, owned by LUKOIL; The produced gas is sold to Gazprom.

Ety-Purovskoye oil field is an oil field in the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Okrug of Russia, near the city of Noyabrsk. The license to develop the field is owned by Gazprom Neft (Sibneft-Noyabrskneftegaz).

The deposit was discovered in 1982; its additional exploration and development began only in 2003. The reserves of the field in categories A, B, C1 are 20 million tons of high-quality light oil and another 20 million tons in category C2.

In early 2007, a flowing oil well was registered at the Ety-Purovskoye field with a daily flow rate of approximately 400 tons of oil, which is one of the record figures for Western Siberia.

The Medvezhye gas field is unique in terms of gas reserves, located in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, 50 km southwest of the village. Nyda. It is part of the West Siberian oil and gas province. Opened in 1967. Developed since 1972. The field is being developed by OOO Gazprom dobycha Nadym.

It is confined to the Nydinsky and Medvezhy local uplifts of the Medvezhy shaft. The dimensions of the structure are 120 x 25 km. The amplitude of the structure is about 140 m, the area is over 2100 km².

Cenomanian deposits have a thickness of 270-300 m. Marine clayey Turonian-Danish deposits with a total thickness of about 600 m serve as a seal. The average thickness of the productive formation is 24-113 m, the effective thickness is 44 m. The length of the deposit is 120 km, height - 114-135 m, width: within the Bear uplift - 13-26 km, Nydinsky - up to 18 km.

Initial gas reserves were estimated at 2,200 billion m?. 7

The first springboard for the development of Medvezhye was the village. Labytnangi, where in 1967, as part of Tyumengazprom, the Directorate for the Arrangement of Northern Fields and Gas Pipelines was organized. According to the chief engineer of Tyumengazprom, Yu. I. Topchev, “in the three years preceding the assault on Medvezhye, gas workers and builders did very little in Labytnangi and Nadym.” 8

In November 1970, the directorate was relocated to the village. Nadym, her branch remained in Labytnangi. Well construction was entrusted to Glavtyumenneftegaz, and a Polar deep drilling expedition was organized in Labytnangi.

The first car crossed to the right bank of the river. Nadym in December 1970, but the transport could not pass beyond the Russian field (a ten-kilometer swamp). Only in the second half of January 1971, the builders reached the place where the construction of the village began. Pangody.

The first facility was gas collection point No. 2 (GP-2), located 20 km from Pangod (in 1973, the Ministry of Gas Industry introduced a single name - an integrated gas treatment unit (UKPG)). Reference well No. 52 was drilled first.

On December 23, 1971, air communication was established with the village. Pangody. Soon the airstrip received up to 40 flights of heavy cargo aircraft.

In December 1971, the Nadym gas production department was organized (since 1973 - Nadymgazprom).

In mid-March 1972, the reference gas well No. 52 came into operation, which made it possible to provide gas to the power plant and boiler house in Pangody. At the end of March, the head of the militarized fire department, V.A. Berezin, lit a torch at GP-2 - the sixth in the Tyumen region.

The mineral resource base of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug is unique and is represented by a variety of minerals, which creates a reliable basis for socially - economic development region. Today we can say that oil and gas production ensures economic stability in the region. In his annual Message, the Governor of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug to the population and the State Duma, Yuri Vasilievich Neyolov, notes: “The fuel and energy complex will remain the basis of the Okrug's economy for many decades to come. However, it is necessary to use every opportunity to reduce the dependence of our budget on the production of hydrocarbons, especially since the conjecture of world prices for them is very unstable.”

At present, Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug is the main supplier of gas in Russia, its production is carried out mainly at the expense of gas giants located in the basins of the Nadym, Pura and Taza rivers, as well as on the Yamal Peninsula. In the near future, large deposits of Gydan - Utrenneye and Geofizicheskoe - will begin to be developed.

Among mineral resources, concentrated on the territory of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, in terms of its importance for the modern economy, hydrocarbon raw materials - oil and gas - are in the first place.

From the history of the fuel and energy complex

In the twentieth century, a unique fuel and energy complex was created in the north of Western Siberia. Large-scale geophysical surveys and drilling operations began in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug in 1948.

Until the beginning of the sixties, all geology was aimed at assessing the unified West Siberian region. The first, fundamental stage ended in 1964 with the discovery of gas in the Tazovsky region. Its results, having confirmed the high prospects for the mineral resources of the North, laid the foundation for a systematic, evidence-based deployment of search focused on providing extractive industries National economy, explored reserves of oil and gas. The next major discovery was the Novoportovskoye field. It became a stronghold in the attack on Yamal. Drilling crews went from here to the north, to the center of the peninsula, to the coast of the Kara Sea. The Arctic, Neytinskoye, later Rostov, Kharasaveyskoye, Malyginskoye deposits appeared, one of the Yamal giants, the Bovanenkovskoye deposit, with reserves of about 5 trillion cubic meters. cubic meters of gas. The Yamal Peninsula declared itself rich in reserves, Paleozoic gas was added to the Mesozoic - a new horizon.

Following the Tazovsky field, geologists discovered the Zapolyarnoye field in 1965. This discovery must be considered historical, it started a new energy policy of our country, focused on Western Siberia as the main source of energy. Zapolyarny's reserves amount to 3.5 trillion cubic meters of gas. Soon the whole world started talking about the discovery of Tyumen geologists.

Oil and gas potential of the region

The oil and gas potential of the region is associated primarily with the Mesozoic sedimentary strata that make up the cover of the West Siberian Plate. In recent years, the presence of hydrocarbon deposits in the Paleozoic rocks of the basement of the slab has also been established, but accumulations of oil and gas on an industrial scale have not yet been found in them.

The Mesozoic oil and gas basin covers the entire flat part of the district and the adjacent waters of the Arctic Ocean. It is subdivided into 9 oil and gas regions: Ust-Yenisei, South Yamal, Messoyakha-Balakhna, Trans-Urals, Nadym, Urengoy, Pur-Taz, Nurminsko-Aleksandrovskaya and Yamalo-Gydanskaya. The last five areas are characterized by the most high density hydrocarbon resources. It is in them that all currently known gas giants are located, which provide the main share of gas production in the region.

Commercial deposits of hydrocarbons in the Mesozoic oil and gas basin are confined to Jurassic-Cretaceous deposits, consisting of alternating layers of clays, sands and silts. These sandy-argillaceous deposits form geological structures - arches, shafts, in which oil and gas deposits are located. The thickness of the Jurassic and Cretaceous sedimentary strata gradually increases from the southern districts of the district to the northern ones. In the same direction, the amount of hydrocarbons contained in the bowels is growing. In the water area of the Kara Sea, the thickness of Jurassic-Cretaceous oil and gas sediments reaches 8 km. The reserves of hydrocarbon raw materials in the Mesozoic strata of the plain part of the district are truly enormous. More than 200 deposits are located on this territory, of which 24 are gas and 64 are oil. The rest of the fields are complex - oil and gas, gas condensate and oil and gas condensate. 19 of them are unique in terms of reserves.

For example, the Urengoy oil and gas condensate field is one of the largest in the world. It is located on the left bank of the river. Pur and stretched in the meridional direction for 180 km with an average width of about 35 km. Gas condensate deposits are located in the Lower Cretaceous deposits at a depth of 2300-3100 meters. Gas condensate is a vaporous mixture of gas and condensate, which consists mainly of kerosene and gasoline. In this field, for every cubic meter of gas, there are 200 cubic meters. see condensate.

Another largest gas field - Medvezhye - stretches from the river. The right Khetta to the Gulf of Ob at a distance of 120 km and consists of three deposits, of which two are gas condensate and one is gas.

Hydrocarbon reserves

The oil and gas complex is the basis of the economy and the normal functioning of all sectors of the economy and the social structure of the Autonomous Okrug.

Through many years of efforts of exploration companies in Western Siberia, the world's largest base of hydrocarbon raw materials was created, and the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug became the main supplier of natural gas in Russia: 205 gas, gas condensate, oil and oil and gas condensate fields were discovered, including the largest in terms of concentration of hydrocarbon reserves in the world, such as Urengoyskoye, Yamburgskoye, Zapolyarnoye, Bovanenkovskoye, Yuzhno-Russkoye.

According to the latest data on the assessment of potential resources, oil and gas deposits within the territory of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug are, to a greater extent, promising for gas. The density of the initial potential resources of free gas on average over the area is estimated at 200 million cubic meters / km. kv; recoverable oil - about 40 thousand tons / km. sq.

The living space reclaimed from the permafrost has become a reference point of civilization, has brought together thousands of highly qualified gas specialists, builders who have equipped and exploited the fields. The volumes of gas and condensate in the bowels of Yamal are fantastic!

The giant oil and gas province of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug is not limited to the continental part of the West Siberian Plate. It continues in the Kara Sea, where geologists have identified the Kara oil and gas region.

Within its boundaries, two largest gas fields have already been discovered at a depth of 4000 meters - Leningradskoye and Rusanovskoye, occupying an area of 3300 square meters. km.

Gas reserves in them are colossal - more than 10 trillion cubic meters. cube m.

The discovery of the world's largest oil and gas province in Western Siberia was predetermined in 1932 by the forecast of Academician I.M. Gubkin and is due to the hard work of large teams of Russian scientists and geologists - practitioners who worked under the guidance of N.N. K. Korovin, Yu. G. Ervie, F. K. Salmanova, L. I. Ravnina, V. T. Podshibyakin and other prominent specialists in the field of prospecting and exploration of hydrocarbon raw materials.

The Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug provides hydrocarbon production from easily accessible Cenomanian horizons, but all good things come to an end. Yamal Governor Yury Neelov, anticipating this situation, is developing a strategy for reaching deeper horizons for oil and gas production. But it needs support federal center. Need to develop regulations Federation, and Yamal has the ability to provide huge supplies of condensate to European consumers. Therefore, it is no coincidence that Yuri Neelov pays serious attention to the problems of the revival of the Northern Sea Route - for Yamal, according to the governor, this is an opportunity to develop economic relations with Western Europe and Southeast Asia.

The legislative framework

Over the past decade economic reforms significant experience in the field of subsoil use has been accumulated in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, a the legislative framework and developed a mechanism government controlled natural resource potential of the Autonomous Okrug, which are based on the Constitution of the Russian Federation, the Law of the Russian Federation "On Subsoil"

In accordance with Article 72 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, the issues of ownership, use and disposal of subsoil, as well as subsoil legislation, are under the joint jurisdiction of the Russian Federation and the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. At the federal level, these legal relations are regulated by the Law of the Russian Federation "On Subsoil", which defines the basis for the legal regulation of relations in the field of subsoil use, including the principles for the division of powers between federal state authorities and state authorities of the Russian Federation.

In accordance with Article 11 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation and Article 1-1 of the Law of the Russian Federation "On Subsoil", the delimitation of jurisdiction and powers between state authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation in the field of state regulation of subsoil use can be carried out on the basis of agreements on the delimitation of jurisdiction and powers.

It should be noted that in the period from 1996 to 1998, the state authorities of the Autonomous Okrug made repeated attempts to conclude such an agreement, which were not crowned with success. The absence of an agreement on the delimitation of jurisdiction and powers between the state authorities of the Russian Federation and the state authorities of the Autonomous Okrug did not give legal grounds to conclude an agreement with the Ministry of Natural Resources of the Russian Federation on the delimitation of jurisdiction and powers in the field of subsoil use. This fact has its own Negative consequences, since it did not allow to clearly distinguish between the issues of reference to the competence of the Russian Federation and the issues of reference and competence of the subject of the Russian Federation.

In this regard, the legal regulation of the activities of state authorities of the Autonomous Okrug and state authorities of the Russian Federation in the field of subsoil use on the territory of the Autonomous Okrug is carried out only on the basis of federal laws and the regulatory legal acts of the Autonomous Okrug adopted in accordance with them.

The most significant of the current regulatory legal acts of the Autonomous Okrug is the Law of the Autonomous Okrug "On subsoil and subsoil use in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug", adopted in 1997, which regulates in detail the procedure for using subsoil in the Autonomous Okrug. However, during the period of validity of this law of the Autonomous Okrug, the legislation of the Russian Federation on subsoil has undergone changes, in particular, the Law of the Russian Federation "On Subsoil" is in force with amendments dated February 10, 1999 and January 2, 2000. In this regard, guided by the order of the Administration of the Autonomous Okrug No. 1223-r dated September 15, 2000, the Law of the Autonomous Okrug "On subsoil and subsoil use in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug" was brought into line with federal legislation that came into force in April 2001.

In the Autonomous Okrug, work is consistently carried out to develop and improve the regulatory legal acts of the Autonomous Okrug that regulate legal relations in the field of subsoil use.

On the basis of paragraph 12 of Article 4 of the Law of the Russian Federation "On Subsoil", paragraph 6 of Article 2 of the Federal Law "On Production Sharing Agreements", exercising legislative regulation of its participation in production sharing agreements when using subsoil plots on its territory, in February 2000 adopted Law of the Autonomous Okrug "On the Participation of the YNAO in Production Sharing Agreements". This law of the Autonomous Okrug regulates relations arising in the process of preparation, conclusion and implementation of production sharing agreements in relation to subsoil plots located on the territory of the Autonomous Okrug.

So, back in April 1996, the State Duma of the Autonomous Okrug, as a legislative initiative, submitted to the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation a draft federal law “On the list of oil and gas fields in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug developed under the terms of a production sharing agreement” .

The Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug took more four years so that our initiatives to transfer subsoil plots to the MNR condition are implemented at the federal level. Only now has it become possible to implement production sharing agreements on two subsoil plots of the Autonomous Okrug.

In order to perform the functions of state management of the natural resource potential of the Autonomous Okrug, the Committee of Natural Resources for the YNAO has been established and is operating on its territory; Department of Natural Resource Regulation and Development of the Oil and Gas Complex of the Administration of the Autonomous Okrug; Russia's first territorial databank of primary geological and geophysical information; collegium for nature management; territorial commissions for oil and gas reserves, for the development of oil, gas and gas condensate fields; on issues of production sharing agreements, which include representatives of the executive authority and federal executive authorities or their territorial bodies; territorial company of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug for natural resources and subsoil use. Carrying out their functions and fulfilling the tasks assigned to them, through the joint efforts of these bodies in the Autonomous Okrug, the powers assigned by Article 4 of the Law of the Russian Federation "On Subsoil" to the competence of state authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation are exercised.

In general, the mechanism of state regulation of subsoil use relations created in the Autonomous Okrug makes it possible to take into account both the interests of the Autonomous Okrug and the interests of the Russian Federation, and also ensures effective interaction between the state authorities of the Autonomous Okrug and the state authorities of the Russian Federation in the field of subsoil use.

As of October 1, 2000, 43 enterprises have the right to use subsoil for the purpose of geological exploration and development of hydrocarbon deposits in the territory of the YaNAO. In total, these enterprises received 147 licenses for the right to use subsoil, of which 44 for the geological study of subsoil and 103 for the development and geological study of hydrocarbon deposits, of which 25 were based on competitions and auctions. Another 16 licenses - for the right to use subsoil, received on the basis of tenders and auctions, are in the process of registration. The remaining licenses were obtained in due time on the basis of clause 19 of the “Regulations on the Procedure for Subsoil Licensing”. The transfer of the right to use subsoil plots and the renewal of licenses takes place in accordance with the Law of the Russian Federation "On Subsoil". For the entire period, 86 licenses were reissued. The main reason for the re-registration is a change in the organizational and legal form of the enterprise in connection with the release of the Law of the Russian Federation "On joint-stock companies» .

Gas industry

For almost twenty years, the Autonomous Okrug has been the main gas producing region of Russia, providing more than 90% of Russian gas production. On the territory of the district, which is 0.5% of the land area of the Earth, more than a third of the explored reserves of natural gas are concentrated, every fourth cubic meter of gas produced in the world is Yamal. In the Autonomous Okrug, natural gas is produced by 19 enterprises, the largest volume of produced gas is accounted for by enterprises that are part of the vertically integrated system of OAO Gazprom and registered in the Okrug. In 2000, gas production by these enterprises decreased by 5.6% compared to the previous year and amounted to 482.7 billion cubic meters. m.

There was a decrease in gas production at LLC Yamburggazdobycha by 5.6%, LLC Urengoygazprom - by 8.1%. Over the past three years, gas production at Nadymgazprom has been increasing by 13% and amounted to 73.6 billion cubic meters. m, which is associated with the introduction of the Yamsoveyskoye deposit.

Other enterprises account for 5% of gas production in the district, in 2000 they produced 27.5 billion cubic meters. m., the volume of production increased for Last year 2.9 times.

Urengoy is the main fuel and energy base of Russia, the scale and pace of development of which have no analogues not only in our country, but also in the world. It was here that in 1977 the Urengoygazprom association was organized to extract hydrocarbons from a unique giant gas condensate field. The boundaries of the deposit are extensive: from south to north, its length is 230 km, and its width is from 30 to 60 km. The implementation of Urengoygazprom's plans required large material and financial costs. The development of the deposits was carried out in the harsh climatic conditions of the Subpolar region. Permafrost, low temperature, waterlogged area, high vulnerability environment complicated the work on the creation of a modern highly efficient and cost-effective gas production complex. Many things had to be done for the first time: to drill and operate wells in permafrost conditions, to build super-powerful fields in 50-degree frost.

Now Urengoygazprom, which is part of RAO Gazprom, annually produces more than 240 billion cubic meters. m of gas, more than 5,340,000 tons of condensate and about 825 thousand tons of oil.

The activities of the Urengoygazprom association are developing in the following areas: geological exploration, production of hydrocarbon raw materials, its purification and processing; scientific and technical and design work; foreign economic activity; construction and repair of industrial and economic facilities; creation and development of the infrastructure of the city of Novy Urengoy; environmental protection.

Years of hard and fruitful work have made the association one of the world's leading companies in the production and processing of hydrocarbon raw materials. The successes achieved are not accidental, since since its inception, the association has been oriented towards high quality manufactured products, compliance with stringent requirements of international standards.

Every year, Urengoygazprom supplies gas, gas condensate, oil and their products to consumers in many regions of the country, and also supplies gas outside of Russia under interstate and intergovernmental agreements. Today, the association is producing gas and condensate mainly from the Cenomanian and Valanginian gas condensate deposits with oil delays. The drilling of the deposit is carried out in clusters, which makes it possible to minimize disturbances in the easily vulnerable surface Arctic layer of the tundra, which recovers after decades. To prepare the Cenomanian gas, Urengoygazprom applied an effective technology of shicole drying on high-performance technological equipment, which ensures the required quality of the supplied gas at minimal cost. Low-temperature separation units produce gas condensate from the V-Alanzha deposits, which undergoes further complex processing. The main products of processing are: deethylated condensate, diesel fuel, gasoline, propane, butane. Urengoygazprom, in close contact with scientific organizations, has developed an ejector technology for the utilization of low-pressure gases during the extraction and processing of gas condensate. The resource-saving technology developed by the association's specialists and scientists from VNIIGAZ makes it possible to minimize the emission of harmful substances.

The policy of Urengoygazprom is aimed at the introduction of advanced technologies for the production and processing of gas and gas condensate for the most complete extraction of hydrocarbons, subject to high standards quality natural environment, protecting the health and safety of employees of the association and the local population.

The association includes 25 structural subdivisions with a total workforce of 15,000 people. The association introduces cost-effective technological processes for the extraction and processing of natural gas, condensate and oil.

Urengoygazprom maintains business relations with a number of leading firms and companies from the USA, Japan, Great Britain, Austria, Finland, Hungary, and Slovakia. Foreign economic cooperation expands the horizons of the association's activities and allows thinking on a larger scale of the global gas industry. Despite numerous difficulties, the association consistently supplies fuel to consumers.

Oil industry

Until 2000, there was a tendency to reduce oil production in the Autonomous Okrug. The reasons for this are insufficient funding for technical re-equipment, the commissioning of new fields to replace retired ones, etc. Last year, an increase in oil production by 5.4% compared to 1999 was noted, associated with an increase in the volume of exploration and production drilling and the commissioning of new wells.

The largest enterprises producing in the Autonomous Okrug, as before, remain OAO Sibneft-Noyabrskneftegaz and OAO Rosneft-Purneftegaz, which account for about 80% of all oil produced in the Autonomous Okrug. In the last 2-3 years, there has been a decrease in the share of the largest companies in total production. The reasons for this redistribution are two circumstances: the restructuring of vertically integrated companies and their pricing policy, aimed at concentrating profits in the parent company.

In 2000, for the first time in the last 11 years, there was an increase in production at OAO Sibneft-Noyabrskneftegaz by 7.42% compared to 1999, which amounted to 15.9 million tons. At OAO Rosneft-Purneftegaz, oil production has been increasing for the last three year, and in 2000 it was 8.9 million tons.

Other enterprises, which account for 23% of the total volume of oil production with gas condensate, produced 7.1 million tons last year, which amounted to 101.1% compared to the corresponding period last year. During the same period, gas condensate production amounted to 3.15 million tons, including Urengoygazprom LLC - 2 million tons. tons, Yamburggazdobycha LLC - 0.9 million tons.
