These reserves make the economic exploitation of the region viable; according to one source, as of 1983 there were around 600 oil and gas fields in the region with another 2000 smaller pools. [1] The province saw limited interest until the 1940s, when the outbreak of World War II saw a larger amount of investment in the region.
Map of the Lake Baikal Rift Zone from the USGS factsheet. The Baikal Rift Zone is a series of continental rifts centered beneath Lake Baikal in southeastern Russia. Current strain in the rifts tends to be extending with some shear movement. A series of basins form along the zone for more than 2,000 kilometres (1,200 mi), creating a rift valley.
The research organization was established in 1957. [1] In 1960, the main scientific activity of the institute was associated with oil development in the West Siberian Lowland. [ 1 ]
