pdf	Western Siberia: some historical elements and new perspectives
	West Siberian petroleum mega-province was discovered fifty years ago. This was facilitated by the professionalism, enthusiasm and boldness of Soviet geologists and effective leadership at the state level. Many oil and gas largest fields are characterized nowadays by declining production and drop in commercial indices. The challenge is to retain and even increase petroleum potential of West Siberia. The solution is to study the current geo-fluid-dynamic processes in the gradient expression and implement new exploration and development technology, especially in the Paleozoic carbonate complex. Rehabilitation cycles are required for "old" fields. Key words: explorers, petroleum potential, Paleozoic, gradient geo-fluid-dynamic, rehabilitation cycle, Western Siberia.
