pdf	Prospects for industrial development of unconventional gas resources in Russia
	A summary of features of geological and commercial characteristics of unconventional gas (coal and shale gas, tight sands gas, gas hydrates) is presented. The estimation of economic efficiency of unconventional gas projects is provided. The existing estimates of unconventional resources of Russia are analyzed. The perspective for industrial development of these resources is characterized. Key words: unconventional gas resources, coal gas, shale gas, tight sands gas, gas hydrates, resource base, economic efficiency.
