Distribution of geological exploration works by type of mineral resources, 2000–2023
From 2000 to 2023, geological exploration was distributed among various mineral types, as reflected in these statistics. Rows categorize data by specific minerals, including oil, gas, condensate, and coal, with the total row always equaling 100 percent. This breakdown helps assess subsoil exploration priorities over twenty-four years. The indicator is expressed as a percentage of the total volume of work, covering the entire country at annual intervals

Set in numbers
This is a cross-section: 8 series across 6 breakdowns. 40 values in total.
The largest value belongs to “Total” — 100; the smallest is “ferrous metals” at 0.5. The gap between them is 200-fold.
All table numbers are series: 8

How to read this table
Table rows are grouped by mineral types, allowing for direct comparison of the shares of oil, gas, condensate, and coal in the total volume of geological exploration. By comparing column values, changes in interest in the extraction of specific resources over different years can be tracked. Each row shows the contribution of a specific type of raw material to the annual total, providing a clear view of the industry structure for analyzing changes in investment or geological research within the territory of Russia
What is visible in these numbers
The table is 83% filled: Rosstat does not publish every cell, and the gaps are left as they are rather than interpolated.

Period and application
The statistics cover the period from 2000 to 2023 and are presented in the 2024 yearbook. This information is useful for subsoil users, energy sector analysts, and researchers of the country's mineral resource base. Data is updated annually by Rosstat, ensuring up-to-date monitoring of geological exploration for key mineral types on a long-term basis
