USA’s new super oil field to wash away Russian economy?

USA’s new super oil field to wash away Russian economy? 



USA’s new super oil field to wash away Russian economy?
18.11.2016


The US Geological Survey informed about the discovery of the largest, previously unused oil and gas field in the country.
Oil reserves in the newly-discovered deposit were estimated at 20 billion barrels. The reserves of natural gas - 16 trillion cubic meters and gas condensate - 1.6 billion barrels. The potential value of the resources was evaluated at 900 billion dollars.
The news has sparked vivid discussions among Russian liberals and Ukrainians. Many of them were led to believe that the USA would drown the Russian economy in cheap oil and gas. Several Ukrainian newspapers have already published articles under headlines "Russia Horrified" or "USA crushes Putin" and "Poverty Coming to Russian Homes."
Russia's Natural Resources Minister Dmitry Donskoy said that the US Geological Service gave a tricky presentation of the news.
"Since 2014, the US Geological Survey has been generously evaluating resources of its regions to non-localized "long" oil on the basis of a new technique," Donskoy wrote.
The Minister instructed the All-Russia Oil Research Geological Institute to prepare an analytical report and urged experts to evaluate the new information.
According to analysts, even if the deposit is said to contain 20 billion barrels, the amount has to be divided by ten. In practice, no shale deposit has ever given even a 1/8 of output. Experts also said that Venezuela, according to geological data, has much larger oil reserves than the USA.
The profitability of shale oil production is another problem. The production of shale oil is considerably larger than the production of Russian or Arab oil. No new shale oil wells have been built recently, while the old ones operate with the help of bank loans. To make shale oil production profitable, one will have to conduct negotiations on an international level and raise oil prices.
In Russia, recoverable oil reserves are evaluated at about 29 billion tons.
