Soviet oil production (including gas condensate) rose by 9.4 million tons in 1987 (up 1.5%) to reach a new all-time high of 624.2 million tons (an average of 12.48 million tons per day). For the first time in several years, the annual plan was not only met, but overfulfilled. Soviet output of gas condensate was apparently about 31 million tons in 1987, representing 5.0% of the total output of 624.2 million tons. About 52% is produced in West Siberia, from gas processing plants as well as field condensate from the gas and oil fields. Activities of the oil industry in West Siberia are described. Twenty new fields went into production. Other regional developments are cited. At least four small nuclear explosions were detonated to increase oil production in 2 regions. Pipeline and refinery developments are also described.
