An analysis of the state and changes in the resource base of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug and the Kara Sea shelf has been carried out. Data on production, reserves and resources of gas, oil and condensate are given. The distribution of hydrocarbon reserves by the field size, by licensed and unlicensed fund and oil and gas complexes are shown. The ratio production and reserves growth over a 20-year period is shown. The reserves of the region’s industrial categories make it possible to increase the annual gas production to 650–750 billion m3, oil – up to 80 million tons. It is necessary to carry out a differentiated assessment of the initial total resources of hydrocarbons for the complex of geological and field parameters.
