the institute totaled more than 400 in 1992, including 32 with doctoral degrees and
146 with candidate degrees. These scientists work in three major areas of research:
1) the determination of potential reserves of oil and gas, the development of plans
for producing oil and gas, and the projection of future production in Russia, 2) the
development of new and utilization of present methods of oil and gas exploration,
and 3) the study of the creation of oil and gas, and the development of methods and
criteria for the estimation of the petroleum and gas potential of sedimentary basins.
