Volumes of deep exploration drilling in Russia for key years
thou. m
Deep exploratory drilling measures the volume of drilling operations conducted to search for new oil, gas, and other mineral deposits. This indicator reflects the level of geological exploration activity within the country. Data is broken down by year from 2000 to 2022, allowing for the tracking of industry dynamics over a long period. The 'Total' row contains aggregate data for all Russian regions, while the 'including oil and gas' column highlights drilling volumes specifically for these types of raw materials

How to read this table
Particular attention should be paid to the difference between the total drilling volume and drilling for oil and gas. In 2000, this difference was only three thousand meters, indicating a high concentration of geological exploration on traditional hydrocarbons. In subsequent years, the share of oil and gas drilling has remained consistently high, which is characteristic of the Russian mineral resource base. Comparing volumes between years reveals changes in the priorities of geological exploration activities by region

Period and application
Data is presented for three key years: 2000, 2010, and 2022. Statistics are updated irregularly and reflect the state of the industry at the times of nationwide geological exploration surveys. This information will be useful to subsurface use specialists, economists analyzing the fuel and energy complex, as well as students and researchers studying the resource potential of Russia's regions
