on Preduralsky 31 area for geological study aiming at search and evaluation of hydrocarbon fields located on the territory of Khanty-Mansiysk autonomous district - Yugra 

License area Preduralsky 31 is located on the territory of Khanty-Mansiysk autonomous district - Yugra in Sovetsk region.  

         The subsurface area borders in the plan are limited by the contour with the following geographical coordinates of its corner points:

The subsurface area is granted the status of geological allotment without depth limitation. Within the limits of the subsurface area there are no specially protected natural territories. The reserves and resources state for the current year is:

           The licensed area is located in Priuralsky oil and gas bearing region, Berezovsky oil and gas bearing district and covers the territory of monocline of the same name. There are 16 gas and gas condensate fields discovered in the district. The main productive complex – Upper Jurassic with “P” productive layer. The complex united the contact zone of sedimentary mantle and basement – weathering crust and basement fractured rocks, the thickness is up to 100 metres. The deposit depth is 1200-1800 m, gas flow rates achieve up to 5.4 mln.m³ /day.

 “Berezovskneftegaz” LTD - the license owner provides financing of the work complex on geological study of the subsurface area on its own funds including the borrowed ones.

The license owner has undertaken the performance of the following work complex on geological study of the subsurface area:

- to work out, agree upon and approve in accordance with the established procedure the “Programme of prospect-evaluation works at Preduralsky 31 licensed subsurface area”.

- to carry out seismic exploration works 2D and perform not less than 450 linear km of seismic lines.

- to drill one prospecting and appraisal well.

- to evaluate the current background pollution level of the work territory at the subsurface area.

- to work out and agree upon the programme of monitoring of the natural environment and subsurface condition.

            For the present moment the following has been performed:

-“Programme of prospect-evaluation works at Preduralsky 31 subsurface area” has been worked out, approved and passed to the Branch for KhMAO FSE “TIF for the Ural Federal District”;

- seismic exploration works 2D in the amount of 262,35 linear km;

- evaluation of the current background pollution level of the work territory at the subsurface area;

- worked out the programme of monitoring natural environment and subsurface condition;

- science and research work on “Historic and cultural zoning for Preduralsky 31 l.a.”
