Distribution of geological exploration works by type of mineral resources, 2000–2024
Mineral exploration volumes are distributed by type of mineral, as shown in this annual data from 2000 to 2024. Rows are categorized by resource types, including oil, gas, condensate, and coal, enabling an assessment of industry structure trends. The total for all exploration types is set at 100 percent, facilitating comparison of each sector's contribution to Russia's overall mineral exploration activities over the specified period

How to read this table
The eight rows in the table categorize mineral types and the total volume of exploration performed. Comparing values across rows reveals how resource exploration priorities have shifted over twenty-five years. Each column represents a specific calendar year, allowing for tracking how geological efforts have been redistributed between the oil and gas sector and coal, while maintaining a total of 100 percent for each year
