In the reclassified RUSSIA NEED OF MINERAL RESERVES
In Russia should be developed and put in place a new system of classification of mineral resources. As the head of the Federal Agency for Subsoil Use (Rosnedra) Alexander Popov, used today in the Russian classification is quantitative, not qualitative assessment. This he told Russia `Oil` passing on the sidelines in Almetyevsk (Tatarstan) Scientific and Practical Conference #39;status and further development of the basic principles for the development of oil fields#39;.
Forum held on 26-27 September at the base of the Camp Youth `` `OAO Tatneft`.
`In recent years we see that there is a growth of reserves, increased oil recovery - said the head Rosnedr. - But it is not clear how this relates to exploration, with the opening of new fields, the application of new technologies. We need to see and qualitative assessment of stocks, to see active stocks involved in the development and not involved. In the classification should already see what stocks we are profitable, and which are not profitable as mining construction.
This will open your eyes to a lot #39;.
`Today, we focus on the western assessments - this is wrong, says Popov. - For some reason, the evaluation was performed international company, and we are building our strategy is on their evaluation. We discuss the classification of ten years, but can not bring her. My belief is that it should be recognized at the international level #39;.
On the question of whether such a classification is related to the differentiation of tax deposits, Popov said that in his personal opinion, the tax differentiation according to trudnoizvlekaemosti, oil viscosity, permeability - this should in principle start with the classification.
According to him, to evaluate stocks on the economy should be at the stage of the project document, which clearly reflects the economics, technology, and infrastructure. The document must be accepted by the State Commission on the development of (the authority proposes to create Popov instead CDC), and has to be seen to fall within these reserves for tax preferences or not cost-effective, they are not profitable or potentially profitable.
`But this is mind, we will work in this direction, and the sooner we take, the better #39;, - said the head of Rosnedr.
