STATE OF NATURAL-GAS RESOURCE BASE ON THE TERRITORY OF NIZHNEYE-PRIANGARIE (LOWER ANGARA REGION)

There are about 6x10(12) m(3) of free gas potential resources concentr ated in the Earth entrails of the Nizhneye Priangarie territory [L.L. Kuznetsov, A.A. Kontorovich, Proceedings of the All Russian Conference on Geology and Oil/Gas Potential and Prospects of Development of Oil and Gas Fields in Nizhneye Priangarie, Krasnoyarsk, 1996]. Gas of fiel ds discovered here has mainly methane composition (CH4 - 63-86%); a co ntent of methane's homologues reaches 22%, nitrogen - 27%, carbon diox ide - 1.4%. A remarkable feature of free gas from these fields is a hi gh content of helium, that reaches 1.1%. Resource base of the Nizhneye Priangarie is reliable fundament for gas producing industry proposed here. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
