中国石化新闻网讯 据俄罗斯媒体2月26日莫斯科报道，俄罗斯自然资源部长谢尔盖·东斯科伊日前在莫斯科举行的一次新闻发布会上表示，为了避免俄罗斯的石油、天然气和矿产开采量可能的下降，外国公司可能获得更多的自由来勘探俄罗斯边远地区的油气藏。
俄罗斯自然资源部长说，外国公司可能被允许开发具有联邦重要性的陆上油气藏。他解释说，外国公司可以参与勘探的油气藏主要位于远东和东西伯利亚地区。
东斯科伊对俄罗斯Vedomosti日报记者说，这个倡议涉及各种矿产资源，但不包括俄罗斯大陆架的矿产资源。
俄罗斯自然资源部预计俄罗斯的石油产量在不久的将来将大幅下降。2013年，俄罗斯的石油产量的下降率预计将达到0.8%。为了改变这种下降趋势以及在北极大陆架能够弥补缺口前（估计在2020年以后），俄罗斯自然资源部计划推进陆上石油生产。

Russia to Ease Foreign Access to Oil Exploration
News Oil & Gas Eurasia
February 26, 2013
Russia Today reports that foreign companies could be granted more freedom to explore natural resources in Russia’s remote regions to avoid the possible decline in oil, gas and mineral extraction.
They may be allowed to co-develop onshore deposits of federal importance, the Russian Natural Resources Minister Sergey Donskoy told a news-conference on Friday. He explained deposits in the Far East and Eastern Siberia will be first.
The initiative concerns all kinds of mineral resources except of those on the continental shelf, the Russian Deputy Minister of Natural Resources, Denis Khramov, told the Vedomosti daily.
The Russian Ministry of Natural Resources expects oil production in the country to considerably drop in the near future. In 2013 the decline is expected to reach 0.8%. In order to change the trend and until the Arctic shelf can fill the gap, which is unlikely to happen until 2020, the ministry plans to propel onshore production.
