The Russkoye field is a heavy crude oil field located in the Tazovsky District, Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, Russia. It is one of the largest fields in Russia. [1] The field is developed by Tyumenneftegaz, a former subsidiary of TNK-BP and the current subsidiary of Rosneft. [2]
The in-place reserves of the field are estimated at 1.5 billion tons and recoverable reserves are estimated at 410 million tons of oil. [1] Recoverable gas reserves are over 85 billion cubic meters. [2] Oil field lays 800–900 metres (2,600–3,000 ft) deep. Oil from the Russkoye field is characterized by high viscosity. [1]
Pilot production started in 2007. [2] As of 2009, there were 10 wells in the field, including four producing wells. As there is no permanent transportation road to the field, production is carried out only during the winter time, which allows usage of ice roads. The permanent road to the field will be built in 2011. [1]
Commercial production is expected to start in late 2015 or early 2016. [3] To improve oil recovery TNK-BP is planning to use injection of hot water and steam into the formation. [1]

Azeri–Chirag–Gunashli or Azeri–Chirag–Deepwater Gunashli is a complex of oil fields in the Caspian Sea, about 120 kilometres (75 mi) off the coast of Azerbaijan. It consists of the Azeri and Chirag oil fields, and the deepwater portion of the Gunashli oil field. An overall estimate of the area of the development is 432.4 square kilometres (167.0 sq mi). It is developed by the Azerbaijan International Operating Company, a consortium of international oil companies, and operated by BP on behalf of the consortium. The ACG fields have estimated recoverable reserves of about 5 to 6 billion barrels of petroleum. Peak oil production of 885,000 barrels per day (140,700 m3/d) was reached in 2010. However by the first quarter of 2024 production had fallen to 339,000 barrels per day (53,900 m3/d), or approximately one-third of peak value, as the development continued terminal decline. As of 2021, ACG oil accounted for 95% of all Azerbaijani oil exports.

There have been widely varying estimates of proven oil reserves in Russia. Most estimates included only Western Siberian reserves, which have been exploited since the 1970s and supply two-thirds of Russian oil. However, there are potentially huge reserves elsewhere. In 2005, the Russian Ministry of Natural Resources estimated that another 4.7 billion barrels of oil exist in Eastern Siberia. In July 2013, the Russian Natural Resources Ministry made official estimates of reserves available for the first time. According to Russian Natural Resources Minister Sergey Donskoy, as of 1 January 2012, recoverable reserves of oil in Russia under category ABC1 were 17.8 billion tons and category C2 reserves were 10.9 billion tons.
The natural gas in Qatar covers a large portion of the world supply of natural gas. According to the Oil & Gas Journal, as of January 1, 2011, reserves of natural gas in Qatar were measured at approximately 896 trillion cubic feet ; this measurement means that the state contains 14% of all known natural-gas reserves, as the world's third-largest reserves, behind Russia and Iran. The majority of Qatar's natural gas is located in the massive offshore North Field, which spans an area roughly equivalent to Qatar itself. A part of the world's largest non-associated, natural-gas field, the North Field, is a geological extension of Iran's South Pars / North Dome Gas-Condensate field, which holds an additional 450 trillion cubic feet of recoverable natural-gas reserves.
