PERSPECTIVES OF PALEOZOIC DEPOSIT DEVELOPMENTIN TOMSK REGION
Extension of exploration activity in the basement of oil-and-gas basins in the Western Siberia and other oil-bearing provinces of the Russian Federation is consistent with transformation stage of oil-and-gas geology paradigm characterized by intense development of the depth oil origin theory that allows determining the Paleozoic deposits as perspective ones for oil and gas recovery. Geologists distinguish two complexes: deep Paleozoic composed in Vend-Riphean and Cambrian-Devonian periods and in the contact zone of Mesozoic-Paleozoic deposits. Paleozoic deposits and all Pre-Jurassic complexes have been poorly studied, which is explained by the lack of efficient exploratory methods and technologies developed in accordance with sedimentary and migrational paradigm consistent with the organic origin theory due to geologic features of Paleozoic deposits (occurrence depth, field structure, reservoir properties, etc.). The relevance of the Paleozoic project for Tomsk Region including three periods up to 2025 is conditioned by the long-term declining production and unsecure replenishment of hydrocarbon reserves. The taken measures in the sphere of finance and taxes (profit tax relief and assert tax relief, budget funding) in Tomsk Region are efficient, but they can mostly be used by large subsoil users having great investments despite a number of tax conditions. Paleozoic project is intended for intensification of cooperation of industrial and scientific communities to realize it. It is necessary to further improve the legislation to spread the good practices of applying developed exploration technologies in Paleozoic deposits in license sites of other sub-soil users, the priority of which is governmental regulation and control as a subsoil owner interested in growth of national wealth.
