Transcript | 1, 1929, at approximately 190 to 200 mililon tons, including about 70 million tons of prepared and prospected reserves, about 40 million tons of visible, and about 80 million tons of supposed reserves. His estimate does not include the reserves of Puta, Kergez, and Kara-Chkhur. It is safe to assume that by properly preparing the bottom layers of the oil fields, not only the first, but also the second Pyatiletka will be fulfilled. We feel confident that our old and trusted Soviet Baku will not fail us. Prof. Golubyatnikov gives also a distribution of the oil supply according to grades (in tons): Regions Crude Oil Kerosene Naphtha Fuel Old 51,549,000 144,125,000 308,755,000 New — 208,719,000 193,874,000 Total 51,549,000 352,844,000 502,629,000 Our scientific institutes are already making laboratory experiments in refining naphtha fuel to obtain higher grades of oil. These experiments deserve the closest attention, because the supplies of naphtha oil are relatively small. We will not go far astray if we assume that the prospecting of new regions will also lead to the discovery chiefly of heavy fuel oil. W7hen the oil supplies of the Grozny region were studied, the same diversity of opinion characterised the final results. The geologist S. I. Charnotsky, applying the method of exploitation curves, in 1921 estimated the supplies of the Old Grozny area at 40.9 million tons, and of New Grozny at 32.8 million tons, together 73.7 million tons. The geologist V. A. Selsky gives a more conservative estimate of the old area, which he credits with 20 million tons, and estimates the new area at 26.3 million tons, a total of 46.3 million tons. All these calculations were upset by the actual working of the Grozny oil region. The latest estimates of the prospected and prepared deposits (not the general reserves), 36 |
