The
focus of LUKOIL's geological exploration work is to replace production with new
commercial reserves of hydrocarbons and to rapidly prepare reserves for launch
and expansion of production in promising regions (Timan-Pechora, Northern Caspian and the Bolshekhetskaya Depression). The
Company maximizes efficiency of its geological exploration work by use of the
latest technologies.
