The fields of the Bolshekhetskaya depression are at the active stage of development, development drilling and construction of production infrastructure are underway. The initial recoverable reserves of the fields of the Bolshekhetskaya depression are about 1 billion tons of standard fuel (1 tce = 1 ton of oil or 1 thousand m3 of gas).
