“There are reserves in the land (on average. - RT ) for 40 years: 30 with little oil and 50 years for gas,” Sorokina quotes TASS.
In his opinion, these reserves should not be attempted to be saved, but monetized, taking into account their further replenishment due to exploration, since the cost of resources may decrease in the future.
Earlier, the head of the Ministry of Natural Resources Dmitry Kobylkin estimated gas reserves of all categories in the country at 73 trillion cubic meters.
The Minister noted that in terms of production, Russia shares the first line with the United States.
