USSR: development of the gas industry. A research paper

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6360376
An analysis of the Soviet gas industry is presented. It is concluded that Soviet natural gas production will continue to grow rapidly and to provide the USSR with a growing source of energy for domestic use or export through the 1980s and that development through the 1980s will focus on West Siberia. Several persistent problems will confront the Soviet gas industry in the next decade, restraining growth in output and raising costs of gas extraction and transport. Natural gas will not prove a panacea for Soviet energy problems caused by a future decline in oil production.
