Yurubcheno-Tokhomskoye field (Krasnoyarsk region)

The importance of oil and gas for the Russian Federation can not be overestimated. This raw material for the production of fuels and lubricants, and for the chemical industry, and fuel. The presence of a large number of oil and gas condensate fields allows the country not only to provide the domestic market with the necessary products from oil and gas, but also to export it to other countries of the world.

Deposits of the Krasnoyarsk Territory

Oil and gas production in the region is of strategic importance in its economic and social development. The Krasnoyarsk Territory is located in Eastern and Central Siberia and has rich deposits of minerals. In particular, it has 25 oil and gas fields. This makes about 25% in the structure of the industrial complex of the region. The largest ones are the Vankor, Icemum, Tagul and Yurubcheno-Tokhomskoye fields. According to Rosneft, this is one of the very promising areas that should be developed in the near future. This is not only the emergence of new oil and gas pipelines and economic profits. This is also the development of the Krasnodar Krai, which until now have not been inhabited and developed.

Some information about the deposit

According to the geostructural feature, the Yurubcheno-Tokhomskoye deposit (the Krasnoyarsk Territory) refers to the Baikit anteclise in the west of the Siberian Platform (antekliza - raising layers of the earth's surface on a vast flat area that develops over several geological periods). In turn, Baikit anteclise refers to the Leno-Tunguska oil and gas province.

According to expert estimates, the Yurubcheno-Tokhomskoye oil and gas condensate field has oil reserves of about 321 million tons in the category C1 + C2 and 387 billion cubic meters of gas in the category C1 + C2. Natural resources are located at a depth of about 2.5 kilometers. The saturation of the seams with oil and gas is uneven. In the south, the intervals do not exceed a thickness of 72 meters, and in the north they reach 172 meters.

Characterization of deposits

The formation of minerals continued several geological periods. Yurubcheno-Tokhomskoye field has a complex structure. The distribution of oil and gas bearing strata is limited by clay sediments and outcrops of crystalline rocks. The layers are shielded by clay-carbonate rocks. Water-contact contact was found at a depth of 2.07 kilometers, and a gas-oil contact - 2.02 kilometers.

However, the amount of raw materials is so large even on confirmed sites, which makes sense, even if unconfirmed layers are poor in resources and do not blow the necessary profitability of their production.

Field development project

Oil and gas were discovered back in the 1980s, but the decision to extract it was made only a few years ago. In 2007, the Tomsk Research and Design Institute of Oil and Gas OJSC completed a technological project. According to him, the Yurubcheno-Tokhomskoye field will be developed in three stages.

On the first one, exploratory and industrial wells are to be constructed, complexly constructed fractured reservoirs are created, the gas compressor station, the oil receiving and delivery points, the raw material preparation plant, etc., are provided.

The second and third stage is the continuation of the extraction development, which allows to increase production capacity and launch the petrochemical complex of the Krasnoyarsk Territory in 2020.

Stages of development of natural oil reserves in the Krasnoyarsk Territory

The second value for oil production is the Yurubcheno-Tokhomskoye field. Rosneft transferred powers to develop its subsidiary OAO East-Siberian Oil and Gas Company. The first stage of development is planned for 2014-2019. For this period of time, 170 wells with horizontal endings should be drilled. The first line should be launched in 2017. By 2019 it is planned to receive 5 million tons of oil per year. Also, the use of associated gas is assumed - by re-injecting into seams and for technological needs.

Thanks to the fact that in 2007 the project was developed and approved, work began on the construction of the Kuyumba-Taishet trunk pipeline in 2013. This pipeline must connect the Yurubcheno-Tokhomskoye field with the highway "Eastern Siberia - Pacific Ocean". It is through this pipeline that oil will be pumped to places of further use and redistribution.

Prospects for development and complexity of field development

The construction of new facilities is always the development of the region adjacent to them. The development of the Yurubcheno-Tokhomsky deposit will not only create new jobs for the residents of the Russian Federation. This is also the development of socio-economic infrastructure.

It should be noted that the area where the Yurubcheno-Tokhomskoye deposit is located (photos can be found on sites with the appropriate subject matter), is not very habitable and requires large investment deposits. For example, only the development of oil deposits in this region will require investments worth 215 billion rubles, according to preliminary estimates. And this is not counting the social sphere. However, the multiplier effect of not only the revenues of contractors for the construction of the oil and gas pipeline is expected. This is also an opportunity for the development of the woodworking industry, and the creation of petrochemical enterprises for the utilization of associated petroleum gas. In addition, the project involves the construction of equipped roads with a minimum length of 700 kilometers and the electrification of settlements through which the oil and gas pipeline will pass.

It is planned to develop the Yurubcheno-Tokhomskoye field only in conjunction with the Kuyumbinskoye field. And this means that not only the Krasnoyarsk Territory, but also a part of the Irkutsk region, will fall into the sphere of economic development. But the federal budget will receive tax revenues of 1.3 trillion rubles, which can positively affect the development of the regions.
