pdf  Resource potential of heavy oil fields in European Russia
In the "old" oil-producing regions in the European part of the Russian Federation, the main source of mineral resources renewal is heavy oils. The monitoring of the mineral resources for the period 2006-2011 revealed the disproportion between the content of heavy oil in reserves and its shares in production for regions of the Russian Federation. The positive trends in the development of heavy oil fields are marked; and the measures to accelerate the pace of its cost-effective development are formulated.

Key words: oil, heavy oil, high viscosity oil, reserves, production, development, industrial significance of fields, economic efficiency, profitability.
