An analysis of historical statistical data on the hydrocarbons growth and drilling during prospecting and exploration of oil and gas fields in the Shirotny Ob region made it possible to identify important patterns in the dynamics of work efficiency criteria. The obtained calculations of the specific annual and average long-term efficiency of prospecting and exploration works can be used to plan drilling meterage, estimate the time of drilling operations and calculate their cost. The feasibility of carrying out prospecting and exploration drilling to convert regional resource expectations into proven reserves of commercial categories is assessed.
