Russia is a standard energy powerhouse that plays a pivotal role in global energy security.

As early as six years ago, at the end of 2011, Russia's proven oil reserves accounted for 5.3% of the world's total, ranking eighth in the world; Russia's oil production accounts for 12.8% of the world's total, ranking second in the world.

And the most powerful thing in Russia is not oil, but gas!

Russia's proven natural gas reserves account for 21.4% of the world's proven natural gas reserves, ranking first in the world! Among them, the Urengoy gas field, located in the West Siberian Basin, is the world's largest natural gas field, with reserves of up to 8.1 trillion cubic meters.

And in Eastern Siberia and the Russian Far East, it occupies a very important position in Russia's oil and gas resources. It is estimated that the natural gas reserves in Eastern Siberia are as high as 54 trillion cubic meters, accounting for 21% of the entire Russian gas reserves; As for oil resources, there are at least 15 billion tons of initial resources in this vast and inhospitable land.

Of course, these estimates are only the most conservative estimates, and they are the data of 2011 six years ago, because the natural conditions in Eastern Siberia and the Far East are very harsh and the area is vast, and at that time, due to technical and weather constraints, it was difficult to carry out survey work here, so the above set of figures are a relatively conservative estimate.

In fact, by the end of 2015, the reserves of oil and gas resources in Eastern Siberia had been expanded several times again, and the most important contribution came from the Irkutsk region on the western shore of Lake Baikal.

Irkutsk Oblast is located in the southwestern part of the Siberian Plateau, and geologically speaking, it has the conditions for oil and gas accumulation.

There is also a very obvious feature of this geological formation, that is, there is more gas and less oil. According to the survey report given by the relevant Russian authorities at the end of 2015. In Irkutsk Oblast alone, there are potential oil reserves of up to 25 billion tons, and total natural gas reserves of 8.4 trillion cubic meters.

However, only 432 million tons of proven oil reserves have been discovered in the Irkutsk region, accounting for only a very small part of the oil reserves of the entire Irkutsk region. However, the proven amount of natural gas is very high. It reached 3.7 trillion cubic meters, which accounts for 44% of the total gas reserves of the Irkutsk region.

These data were all learned by Tang Feng through the information obtained by Mr. Kang from special channels, and even the specific data of the oil and gas fields that have been developed in Irkutsk Oblast are in Tang Feng's hands.

Generally speaking, this kind of information is very confidential information, and if it were not for the strong support of Old Man Kang, it would be almost impossible for Tang Feng to obtain such information.

Now that there is this extremely detailed information, Tang Feng can selectively transport the oil and gas resources in the relevant areas.

That's right. This time, in addition to the copper-gold mines in Mongolia, Tang Feng intends to use the method of ore vein condensation, and Tang Feng has to use the means of ore vein transportation to transport the oil and gas resources in the Tunguska coalfield in Russia and the Irkutsk region.

Mongolia's South Gobi Porphyry Belt borders Inner Mongolia in China, and the distance is very close, and the three world-class copper-gold mines are even less than 100 kilometers away from the national border. Within this range, Tang's vein condensation function can easily gather the copper and gold resources in most of the South Gobi porphyry belt, thus forming a larger copper-gold mine in Inner Mongolia.

As for the Tunguska coalfield, which is three thousand kilometers away, and the Irkutsk region, which is two thousand kilometers away. Tang Feng had to use the means of transporting ore veins, because Tang Feng didn't want to go to Lao Maozi's land to find it uncomfortable. How comfortable is it to honestly stay in your own country, and it's okay to go to Russia to dry your hair in this cold early spring?

However, when Tang Feng drove the Land Rover all the way from Yanjing to Jining, Tang Feng still regretted that he was out of the jam at this time.

Although it was almost March, when I was on Qiong Island. Tang Feng hated to take off all his clothes, but when he arrived in Jining, Tang Feng was still choked by the cold.

At the end of February and the beginning of March, the temperature is still below freezing, and the temperature is lowest at night. It can be reduced to more than 10 degrees below zero. No way, who let this be an outlet, the cold air from Siberia will pass through here on the way south, causing the temperature here to be much lower than that of cities at the same latitude.

After resting overnight in Jining, Tang Feng went north along the Erguang Expressway the next day and went straight to the border city of Erlian.

On the way, Tang Feng passed through the Hunshandak Sandy Land and crossed the beautiful Sunit grassland, the vast and rough scenery made Tang Feng's mood suddenly become very good.

In the east of the Erguang Expressway, it is the second-line railway, this railway is the only way for Yanjing to Ulabaatar and Moscow, but the time is not right, the K3 international express train from Yanjing to Moscow will depart from Jining to the north every day close to the evening, and it is already more than eight o'clock in the evening when it arrives at Erlian, so at this time, Tang Feng can not see the green K3 train.

However, because sometimes the highway and this railway line are very close, Tang Feng can see some freight trains, the top of the locomotive is emitting a faint green smoke, pulling fifty or sixty wagons to marry, all the way on the vast prairie.

When Tang Feng was in high spirits, he would slow down the speed of the car, and while driving, he would maintain the same speed as the train next to him, until the highway was far away from the railway line, Tang Feng would step on the accelerator and continue to drive alone on the vast land.

In less than three hours, Tang Feng ran to the right banner of Sunit. Here, Tang Feng took a break and tasted the local specialty milk tofu and grilled lamb chops, but because he had to drive, Tang Feng did not have the opportunity to taste the famous local mare's milk wine.

However, Tang Feng also bought a lot of local specialties, such as ground cabbage, grassland mushrooms, Ximeng cashmere and other specialties, these things are taken back, presumably the old man and the old lady at home will like it very much.

After coming out of the Sunit Right Banner, the highway is gone, and the remaining 100 kilometers will continue along National Highway 208. However, the road condition of this national highway is not bad, and you can afford to run a car. When Tang Feng ran to the second company, it was only past three o'clock in the afternoon.

Tang Feng didn't want to move anymore today, so he decided to go to Erlian Station after dinner. I had long heard that the international express train from Yanjing to Moscow would change wheels at Erlian Station, and Tang Feng had never seen it, so Tang Feng decided to go there in the evening.

Of course, with the local leaders leading the way, Tang Feng did not worry about not being able to enter the second station. (To be continued.) )
