Published: 1997 Summary Abstract: Russia is large and contains many basins which are significant in terms of global energy production. In terms of energy resources, less information is available; however, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) scientists expect Russia to represent the largest share of the world's energy resources. Almost 25 percent of the world's energy production from fossil fuels is produced by Russia, with about one-sixth of the total contributed by oil and gas production. Despite a very large resource base, production of oil and gas in Russia has been decreasing during the last several years mainly because of outdated and aging equipment, lack of investments, and political and managerial problems. Many Russian basins are considered frontier areas because of the lack of information from partially-explored areas, and in some instances, the lack of any exploration. The technical infrastructure of the Russian scientific community is rapidly advancing with the use of U.S. techniques and methods.   Product Type: Online Reports or Chapters   Information Access & Use Accessible Online At: http://energy.usgs.gov/factsheets/Russia/russia.html   Access Contraints: none   Use Contraints: none   Citation & Contact Information USGS Publication Number and Series:   U.S. Geological Survey Fact Sheet FS-17-97   Contact Person: Ulmishek, Gregory F.     Related Products and Downloads 1.  Assessment Summary of the Former Soviet Union Region 1 as part of the 2000 World Petroleum Assessment (DDS-60) 2.  Generalized Geology of the Former Soviet Union (geo1ec) 3.  Geologic Provinces of the Former Soviet Union (prv1ec) 4.  Maps showing geology, oil and gas fields, and geologic provinces of the former Soviet Union 5.  USGS Map Service Showing Geology, Oil and Gas Fields and Geological Provinces of the Former Soviet Union
