Loading ...Russia Has Peaked… Oil Decline In Siberia

Most of the Western Siberia oil fields were discovered in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. Those fields are now in terminal, irreversible decline even with all the able assistance of the likes of Schlumberger and Baker Hughes. So maybe there was another reason that Putin stepped down as President? There are no coincidences, comrade. Old Russian saying goes, “Quit while you are ahead.”
The genius behind much of USSR oil production was Nikolai Baibakov. who just died on March 31 at age 97. His post-WWII leadership of the Soviet oil industry led to discoveries that fueled the USSR, and later Russian Federation.
