Abstract
Abstract: Oil and Gas Resources of the Soviet Union
By
The Soviet Union has one sixth of
the Worlds Oil Reserve and four tenths of
the Worlds Gas Reserve. It ranks second
in oil reserve and first in Gas Reserve.
It is divided into four parts based on geology
and petroleum potential. Each part
includes a number of sedimentary basins
which produce from Cambrian through
Tertiary aged rocks.
Projection of supply and demand
through 1980 shows a continued growth
in Soviet domestic consumption and
exports. The exports will increase to
about 5 percent of the Worlds Oil production
by 1980, and after that little
increase is expected. At that time the
Soviet Union will be the only major industrial
country in the world with energy
supplies in excess of their own needs. End_of_Record - Last_Page 1---------------
