Transcript | Chibyu River, a left tributary of the Ukhta, in well No. 5, yielding from 1.5 to 2 tons daily, the oil flowing from a depth of approximately 500 metres. Prospecting is carried on there with a view to its industrial exploitation, and possibly a new oil region supplying our industries will be established there. The Sakhalin oil region also holds out great hopes as the industrial exploitation of the Chkhinsky oilfield there is meeting with success. The efficient organisation of prospecting operations in that district will no doubt enhance its industrial importance. There are many places worth while investigating in that region, e. g., Katangli, Ekhabi, Nutovo, etc. Moreover, the question for oil must be carried also into the European part of the Union lying west of the Ural Mountains, in the districts of Vyarka and Yelabuga, and generally to those localities where tectonic forms of strata are found, which are taken to indicate the formation of oil deposits. The Americans have scouted around for oil on similarly level territory and hit numerous oilfields. The search for oil must also be extended to the Eastern Urals after a preliminary geophysical exploration of that terrain. In short, the future of our oil industry depends entirely upon the scope of our prospecting operations, and whether they are carried out with the requisite bold determination and intrepidity. Natural Gas Resources of the U.S.S.R. * Natural combustible gases may be found either in conjunction with oil deposits, of which they constitute a concomitant element, being largely found dissolved in the oil, or they are met with as independent gas deposits. Natural combustible gases are divided into two groups: (1) the so-called "dry gases," and (2) "wet gases." Dry 43 |
