Far-East of Russia has the huge raw potential. However, for some reasons the serious difficulties in maintenance of fuel and gas supply are taken place. Large hopes of the population of Russian Pacific coast assigns to development of sea deposits of oil and gas of the Okhotsk sea and, first of all, of the projects "Sakhalin-I" and "Sakhalin-2". The development of these projects is connected with the decision of the whole complex of political, social, legal, technical, ecological problems Some variants of maintenance of Primorye Territory by fuel at the expense of oil and gas resources of the Sakhalin shelf are considered. INTRODUCTION Russian Far-East, in particular, Primorye Tenitory potentially is the most perspective territory on the profound economic cooperation from USA, Canada, Japan, Korea, China and other countries. The main problem of maintenance of normal functioning of economic complex and social sphere in the region is regular power supply, accepted on the tariffs. During last years the deep crisis in a fuel and energy complex of Far-East has shown, that without creation of reliable system of maintenance by fuel resources of consumers of Primorye and Khabarovsk Territories it is not possible to ensure the economical and social stability in the region. On Primorye Territory, consuming the fourth part of all electrical energy and fuel of Far-East and Transbaikalia, the coals make a basis of fuel balance both locals deposits and imported from other territories. In general balance of natural power resources of Primorye Territory the coal share is 60%. Following proportions uses the total volume of coal consumption: 49% on development of the electric power (4 thermal stations), 25% - on heat distribution, 26%- on other needs. The coal deficiency in Primorye Territory has made 5 millions tons per year in 1996–1997. In Khabarovsk Territory a share of imported coal is about 10 millions tons annually.

The increase of efficiency and reliability of functioning of fuel and energy complex of the Russian Far East will be the essential factor to overcome economic crisis and to provide the subsequent development of economy of the region. In present conditions the only realistic solution of fuel supply to the region is the accelerated development of hydrocarbon resources offshore of Sakhalin. The potential consumers of hydrocarbons on domestic market are Sakhalin Region, Khabarovsky and Primorsky Regions. The specified territories are the basic consumers of boiler fuel (BF) in the Far Eastern region. In 1990–1995 the consumption of BF equaled to 82–84% from the total demand of the Far Eastern regions. In the recent years the demand of separate Regions of the Russian Far East and, first of all, of Khabarovsky and Primorsky Regions exceeded a level of actual consumption, which created difficulties in non-interruptible supply of enterprises and population with electric power and heat and resulted in necessity of restriction in their consumption and even change of working hours of separate administrative districts and large cities. The structure of BF consumption in the above said Regions, a.x well as in the Far Eastern Regions in whole, is extremely non-effective and is notable for an increased specific weight of coal and liquefied fuel (more than 75%) and low specific weight of natural gas (7%). Therefore in the study the proposals on distribution of gas for the enterprises of Sakhalin Region, Khabarovsky and Primorsky Regions are given, which are based on worked out fuel and energy balances of these enterprises, where were considered the demand and production of fuel and energy resources and power streams. There are developed not only the balance of Sakhalin gas, but also the balances of oil products and coals, produced and utilized on the Far East.

ABSTRACT: The paper describes the level of investigations of Sakhalin shelf for 17 years of prospecting and exploration. 8 oil and gas fields have been discovered with the total recoverable reserves ca. 272 million tons of crude oil and 819 billion m3 of gas. In the nearest 5–7 years the intensive exploration of these sectors by the companies-winners of tenders is expected. The volumes of drilling can reach 45,000–50,000 m/year. The deterrents are severe environmental conditions on the Sakhalin shelf, which are characterized by a short summer season and complicated ice conditions in winter. Offshore fields of Sakhalin can become one of the most promising sources of import of crude oil and LNG to the countries of Asia Pacific region. The Northern Sakhalin is one of the oldest oil and gas producing areas in Russia. Commercial production here began in 1928. In the history of oil and gas exploration the two basic stages are distinguished by being remarkably different in efficiency and final results. Before the middle of 1970s the oil and gas prospecting was carried out only onshore of Sakhalin. The works were carried out practically in all promising areas of the island, but the major part of the fields (over 50) and commercial hydrocarbon reserves were discovered in the north-eastern part of Sakhalin. Oil and gas, gas and gas condensate fields with small reserves were discovered in the central and north-eastern parts of Northern Sakhalin. Three small gas fields were discovered in Aniva District on the Southern Sakhalin. An oil field was discovered in Pogranichny graben (Eastern Sakhalin). Totally on the island there were discovered 62 fields: 20 oil fields (with oil reserves being over 90%), 13 gas fields, 17 gas and condensate fields and 5 oil and gas condensate fields.

The results of oil and gas prospecting, intensively carried out since the middle of 70"s, have confirmed high evaluation of oil and gas potential of the Far Eastern seas and its leading role in development of fuel and energy complex of the region. The development of already discovered deposits offshore Sakhalin allows to increase the production of oil and gas in 15–20 times. The total geological resources of hydrocarbons of the Far Eastern seas are estimated to 16,7 bln. tons of conditional fuel (in terms of oil), including 9 bin. tons of oil, 0,35 bin. tons of condensate and 7400 bin. m 3 of gas. The recoverable resources of gas correspond to their geological resources, the recoverable resources of oil and condensate with projected technology of development of their deposits on offshore fields are estimated to 2,4 bin. tons and 0,24 bin. tons accordingly. The level of resources development is low, the portion of explored and preestimated reserves (A + B + CI + C2) does not exceed 13% and practically all of reserves are dated to the offshore zone of the North Eastern Sakhalin. The minor gas reserves are explored offshore of Sakhalin in the Tatar Strait. The main oil and gas and promising complexes are connected with Cenozoic sediments, which share in distribution of resources exceeds 90%. The overwhelming part of explored reserves as well as of forecast resources is dated for a depth interval of up to 3 kin: up to 87∼ in offshore zones with prevalence of Neogene oil and gas bearing complexes and up to 95% in offshore zones, in which cross sections an essential part is taken by Paleogene complexes. In the result of geophysical studies offshore of the Far Eastern seas there are revealed about 60 anticlinal zones, which unite the local structures (more than 300), being promising for exploration of large oil and gas deposits.

Abstract. Source of Natural Gas Supply: There are rich sedimentary basins which are adequate for production of natural gas in North East Asian countries. Russian Far East region and East Siberia: Sakhalin, Sakha (Yakut), Irkutsk, Krasnoyarsk Region. In China, there are Sunliao, Shaan- Gan-Ning (Ordos), Tsaidam, Turphan and Tarim. The potentiality of large gas reserve discoveries is high and there are indeed already discovered, but untapped gas fields: such as Koviktinsk gas field in Irkutsk, Yurubchensk oil and gas field in Krasnoyarsk, and the under development Shaan-Gan-Ning gas field in China. Variant pipeline route: for a gas supply to the large consuming areas in the North East Asian countries, several large pipeline routes are planned: from East Siberia and Far East (Yakut), three Routes: from Irkutsk via Mongolia, China (Beijing) to Tianjin Port., from Irkutsk via Manchuli, Daching, Harbin in China to the Russian Port Zarbino, from Yakut to the East Coast port Vanino, then a variant of this route, via North and South Korea and possibly to Japan. Adding to these, Sakhalin gas pipeline down to the south, Hokkaido, Japan, or through Russian Far East to Chinese three provinces of North East, and possibly Korea and Japan. And another plan of Turkmenistan to Chinese East Coast through Chinese Central Asia and mid-area of China, West to East. Geopolitics of Natural Gas: International gas supply and consumption. Supplier and user's shake hand, long-term contract stability, large financial investment guarantee. All of this depend on the maturity of international political affairs. Source of Natural Gas to be Supplied In North-East Asian countries there are large and rich hydrocarbon contained sedimentary basins, in the Russian Far East and East Siberia, in North-East and West of China. These are the main regional gas suppliers. Natural gas will be produced in those areas and transported by large diameter pipelines to other North-East Asian countries such as Korea, Japan and others for their consumption, after those areas indigenous use. Exploration for natural gas and its discovery began relatively early but the development and recovery of gas was far behind compared with other gas producing areas in the world. However, the Russian and Chinese oil and gas state explorers discovered several large gas fields in 1970's and 80's. In Russia, they are Sobinovskoye gas field, Yurubchenskoye-Tokhomoskoye oil and gas field and 18 others in Krasnoyarsk Krai, Koviktinskoye gas field and 9 other gas fields in Irukutsk Oblast, Chayadinskoye gas field, Srednebotuobinskoye oil and gas field and 28 other fields in the Republic of Sakha, Odoput-More oil and gas field, Lunskoye gas field and Chaivo gas field in offshore Sakhalin Oblast. In China, they are Shaan-Gan-Ning gas field in Ordo
