Mining in the Irkutsk regionthe most different minerals. In the platform part of the region, for example, there are deposits of coal, refractory clay, potash and rock salts. The Lensky gold-bearing region and the Mamsko-Chuy mica-bearing province are located in the folded areas. This region of Russia also has rich reserves of cement limestone, facing stone, manganese, and native sulfur. And, of course, there are oil fields in the Irkutsk Region. They are located mainly in the platform part. One of the largest objects of this type is the Yarakta deposit, discovered in 1971.
This oil field is located in the upperthe course of the river Lower Tunguska, in the area of its left tributaries Gulmoka and Yarakty. Black gold reserves began to form in this area during the Vendian and Cambrian periods. Oil is extracted at the Yarakta field, the photo of which is presented in the article, from sandstones, their total thickness is 40 km. In tectonic terms, this object is located within the south-western immersion of the Nepsky arch.
The oil reserves in the field are significant. In total, 102.5 million tons of black gold occur here. The density of oil in this place is 0.830 g / cm3. The Yarakta field belongs to the group of oil and gas condensate fields and is part of the Pribaikalsky province. Engaged in the development of black gold at this facility the Irkutsk Oil Company.
Get to this facility by yourselfpretty hard. This field is located in the taiga, very far from any settlements. Previously, it was possible to reach this object in the summer only by air. Recently, a dirt road was laid from the town of Ust-Kut to the field. However, too comfortable to move it, unfortunately, can not be called. In any case, driving on this road to the Yarakta field in a car is not worth it. Overcoming this almost 200 km path through the taiga, sometimes forcing the rivers, is basically only possible for KAMAZ trucks and other similar heavy-duty vehicles.
Находится этот нефтяной объект, как уже mentioned above, at a great distance from populated areas. The distance from Ust-Kut to the Yarakta deposit is 140 km in a straight line. Therefore, for the workers of this object, as well as the majority of other similar ones, a shift camp was built. This town is relatively small, but all the facility’s employees have enough space here.
Of course, special comfort specialists,Those who decide to work in this field should not wait. However, the Irkutsk Oil Company still took care of the elementary amenities for its employees. In 2014, construction of two modern hostels was started on the territory of the Yarak camp. As a result, the total capacity of the housing on the site increased to 550 seats.
Also in the village was built a new dining room.Its total capacity was 100 people. In the dormitories, in addition to the living rooms themselves, there are also such infrastructure facilities as showers, bathrooms, an assembly and sports halls. The territory of both buildings is landscaped. Next to the hostels built bath complex. Here, in addition to the steam room, shower and washing, there is also a small swimming pool. Acts in the village and its own church.
Yarakta field for Irkutsk oilThe company is the main. The share of this object accounts for 80% of the total hydrocarbons produced by the enterprise. The license holder for the development of black gold in this place is Ust-Kutneftegaz OJSC, a subsidiary of the INC. A license was issued to this company in December 1996. The company has the right to extract oil here until 2033.
Currently, the main focus on YaraktaINK field makes the development of this very advanced method of oil production. In contrast to the European part of Russia and Western Siberia, the well drilling technology for Eastern Siberia is practically new. Meanwhile, it is this method that allows to extract oil at the lowest financial cost. Moreover, the use of such technology reduces the harm caused by enterprises that extract black gold to the environment.
By 2017 at the Yarakta oil and gas condensateThe field was built 19 new cluster sites. Also, measures to intensify the extraction of black gold have touched and a significant part of the fund already existing before KP.
In total, 209 production wells are operational at the field in 2017. At the same time exploration drilling at the site continues.
Earlier, the company INC. Transported minedoil along the line connecting the Yaraktskoe and Markovskoye fields to the railway terminal in the city of Ust-Kut. The construction of this pipeline was completed in 2007. Still previously produced oil was concentrated at the transfer station of the Markovskoye field. In Ust-Kut it was delivered by road.
В 2011 г.the line connecting both objects with the city railway junction was suspended. At present, oil is being pumped from the Yarakta field through a new pipeline connecting it to the ESPO station near station No. 7. The total length of this line is 61 km. Its final point is the PSP, the first stage of which was also completed in 2011. The power of this delivery / acceptance point at the time of commissioning was 1.5 million tons per year.
Intensive development of the infrastructure of the villageYarakta is explained, of course, primarily by an increase in the production capacity of the field itself. At the moment, the INC company is implementing several large-scale projects on this important for the economy of the Irkutsk region and the entire country as a whole. For example, a modern plant is being built at the field, which is designed to prepare sulfurous oil OPSNG. Also at the facility, work is underway to upgrade the gas pumping station and the booster pumping station. In addition, a large-scale gas project of the company is being implemented.
In total, the INC conducts exploration and development25 deposits in the territory of both the Irkutsk region and the Republic of Sakha. Its license areas in the Irkutsk region, in addition to the Yarakta deposit, are:
Opinion about the company INC. From its specialistsunfortunately, it was ambiguous. Her advantages include, first of all, that she pays her employees official salary, and she does this almost always on time. In this case, the money for their work, the employees of the enterprise are quite worthy.
Negative reviews about the developer Yaraktydeposits are mainly related to living conditions. In the constructed modern complexes on the territory of the rotational camp, companies often lodge only engineering and technical workers. At the same time, simple workers are often given places in old buildings without any infrastructure, in other words, in ordinary Soviet barracks.
There are employees of the INC. Complaints andpayroll distribution. All employees of the company engaged in the field, receive the same money. At the same time, at some sites the volume of work has to be done very large, while at others people practically do nothing.
Another disadvantage of the company, according to many of itsEmployees, is cronyism. To get a good position, even with a suitable specialty, excellent recommendations and extensive experience, without connections here, judging by the reviews, it is almost impossible.
