Absolute result. Relative indicators. When strength leaves...

A year before the introduction of the professional holiday of oil and gas workers in the USSR, the 100th anniversary of the formation of the domestic oil and gas industry was widely celebrated. In the fall of 1864, in the west of the Kuban region near Anapa, mechanical shock-rod drilling of oil wells was used for the first time in Russia using steam engine. In 1865, drilling operations there ceased as oil exploration began on the Kudako River.

On February 15 (February 3, old style), 1866, the first oil gusher in Russia erupted from a well drilled mechanically in the valley of the Kudako River.

The news of the first oil gusher in Russia attracted the attention of various circles Russian society to the oil business. In August 1868, Siberian industrialist Mikhail Sidorov began drilling the first oil well in the Russian North on the banks of the Ukhta River in the Pechersk region. During the same period, the first exploration work for oil using machine drilling also began in the Ural-Volga region.

At the beginning of the 20th century, Russia ranked first in the world in oil production.

The production of natural and associated petroleum gas (hereinafter referred to as APG) in the country, according to data at the beginning of 2018, was carried out by 254 producing enterprises.

In 2017, total gas production (natural and associated petroleum) in Russia increased by 8% (+50.9 billion cubic meters compared to 2016) and reached a record level for the entire period of Russian gas production - 691.1 billion cubic meters, including natural gas - 605.7 billion cubic meters (an increase of 8.8% compared to 2016); and associated petroleum gas - 85.4 billion cubic meters (an increase of 2.5% compared to 2016).

He can move several thousand kilometers in less than eighty days, can go into space, can regulate the temperature in his home, can control and make huge mechanisms work, etc. However, all this would be impossible if in the world there were no people extracting and processing coal, gas and oil.
