Rosgeologia finds the Perm region promising in the search for shale gas

The Kama Research Institute of Comprehensive Studies of Deep and Ultra-deep Wells (a part of Rosgeologia) has found the Perm region promising to search for shale gas, the company reported.

"We have circumstantial evidence of high gas saturation of the rocks of the Pre-Ural fore deep and adjacent areas. We have explored different forms of gases held by rocks and found elevated, high and in some cases even "hurricane" concentration of hydrocarbon gases in oil-and-gas source rock. This is circumstantial evidence that shale gas can be found in subsoil of the Perm region,"- head of the sector of gases research Galina Titova said.
