WELCOME TO THE IGIRGI WEBSITE! INSTITUTE OF GEOLOGY AND DEVELOPMENT OF COMBUSTIBLE RESOURCES (IGIRGI) RAS Almost 80 years ago, according to the Decree of the Presidium of the USSR Academy of Sciences, the Institute of Fossil Fuels was established . On the basis of the Decree of the Council of Ministers of the USSR, the Institute of Oil was separated from this institute , and from it, in accordance with the Decree of the Central Committee of the CPSU and the Council of Ministers of the USSR, the Institute of Geology and Development of Fossil Fuels (IGiRGI).Over the years of its activity, IGiRGI has made a major contribution to the formation and development of oil and gas geology and geological exploration, to the intensification of oil and gas production. A wide range of fundamental scientific research has been carried out in the field of the origin of hydrocarbons (HC), their migration, the patterns of formation and placement of large accumulations of oil and gas in the earth's crust when specifying oil and gas resources, the development and selection of rational methods for prospecting and exploration of HC accumulations, substantiation of effective directions geological exploration process, creation of geological, physical and physical and chemical foundations of enhanced oil recovery. Currently, the main volume of research and development of the institute of federal importance is associated with research in the field of: Medium and long-term forecast of oil production; Strategies for the formation and development of the resource base of the oil and gas industry in Russia, including the shelf of the seas; Development of a legal framework for subsoil use and licensing; Formation of programs to create strategic oil reserves and ensure Russia's energy security; Feasibility study of ecological and geodynamic monitoring of oil and gas field development; Geological and economic assessment of hydrocarbon resources and reserves; Analysis of the oil production resource base. The results of the research work performed are in demand by the Ministry of Energy of Russia, the Ministry of Natural Resources of Russia, the Ministry of Trade and Economic Development of the Russian Federation, as well as a number of committees of the State Duma. In recent years, a certain part of research has been aimed at solving applied problems under agreements with the administrations of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation and oil companies.
