| | KHANTY-MANSIYSKI AUTONOMOUS DISTRICT – YUGRA
Geographic Situation
The Khanty-Mansiyski Autonomous District is situated in Western Siberia, in the Ob and Irtysh river basin.
It borders on Sverdlovsk Oblast in the South-West, the Republic of Komi in the West, Tyumen Oblast in the South, Tomsk Oblast and the Krasnoyarsk Territory in the East, and the Yamalo-Nenetski Autonomous District in the North.
History
1930 – Ostyako-Vogul National District established
1940 – the National District transformed into the Khanty-Mansiyski District
2003 – transformed into the Khanty-Mansiyski Autonomous District - Yugra
Population
Despite the predominance of Russians, the population of the district is multi-national due to a considerable inflow of labor force into the petroleum industry from the petroleum-extracting regions of the former USSR in the course of many years.
Birth-rate exceeds death-rate, and the outflow of the population observed during the first years of the reform has stopped. The share of the main nationalities – Khanty and Mansi – is insignificant and is constantly decreasing, and the natural and economic basis for the traditional nomadic livestock-breeding has been irreversibly destroyed in many areas of the district.
Climate
The climate is continental, with a harsh and long winter (about nine months) and a comparatively warm summer.
The average temperature in January is from -18° C to -23° C, and in July it is +16-20° C. The annual precipitation is about 500 mm.
The vegetation period is 120-130 days.
There is permafrost in the North.
Economics
The specificity of the regional economics is connected with the discovery of very rich petroleum and gas deposits. In the sectoral structure of industrial output petroleum and gas-extracting industries account for 89.4%.
Power engineering, mechanical engineering, metal-working, gas-processing, timber and wood-working industries as well as the production of construction materials are also well-developed.
The natural conditions of the district are not conducive to the development of agriculture. So, the greater part of farm produce and foodstuffs are brought from other Russian regions.
Resources
Yugra possesses rich mineral resources. The main minerals are petroleum and gas. The largest petroleum and gas deposits are Samotlorskoye, Fyorodorovskoye, Mamontovskoye and Priobskoye.
Alluvial gold, vein quartz and collection raw materials are also extracted in the region. Deposits of brown and black coal have been discovered as well as beds of iron ore, copper, zinc, lead, niobium, tantalum, bauxite shows, etc. Deposits of decorative stone, brick and keramzite clay, and construction sand are being prepared for development.
In the Ural’s part of the district’s territory, rocks with high filtration and absorption properties such as zeolite-containing, effusive and other rocks have been discovered.
Peculiarities of the Region
The district is Russia’s main petroleum- and gas-bearing area (56% of Russia’s petroleum and 3% of gas are extracted there), and one of the largest in the world. It is a donor region of the Russian Federation leading in a number of economic indicators, namely:
1st - in petroleum output
1st - in electricity generation
1st - in tax payment to the budget
2nd - in gas output
2nd - in the volume of investment in fixed assets.
Major negative factors are the harsh natural and climatic conditions and the under-developed transportation infrastructure. |
