Scientists have discovered 4 thousand potential oil and gas deposits in Perm region
The scientists of the Perm University have discovered 4 thousand possible hydrocarbons deposits in the Transurals region, about 1 thousand of which are the most perspective to hold geological exploration.
According to geologists, 850 objects are the most perspective.
Previously the possibility of discovery of hydrocarbons in such places made up 30%, today the accuracy of research works is 70%.
Currently out of 4 thousand discovered objects with potential hydrocarbons reserves, 850 have a high perspective for oil and gas presence forecast, I. Kopylov, PhD, said.
To specify hydrocarbons layers at a certain place it is necessary to hold further geophysical and geochemical studies.
According to scientists, the highest density of location of oil and gas traps is in the north-western territories of the Perm region.
