Some of the most promising areas for the extraction of heavy oil, maltha and asphalt in the eastern part of the Siberian platform are the southern and southeastern slopes of the Anabar anteclise. Using solvents for mining heavy oil and natural bitumen in a permafrost zone is the only option to steam injection, which is obviously cost ineffective there. Advantages of the solvents include convenience of transportation to field and storage stability. Moreover, the solvents have sufficiently high solubility with respe...

In the article the authors propose a gradual abandonment of the outdated practice of early/urgent importation of energy resources to remote settlements and industrial facilities. Marked the main directions of studies in the perspective of transition from a research and development level to a level of industrial application. Examined the nature of gas hydrates decomposition with the purpose of developing a modern technology of transportation and storage of natural gas and its components in the hydrated state. Advan...
