The Russian Republic {CIS} The Combined Basin Studies include the Political, Transportation, Geology, Basin and Drainage maps and texts for the countries indicated. Special emphasis is given on each for the oil & gas fields, oil shales, oil & gas seeps, pipelines and refineries. The present divisions of the former USSR include in this study the Countries of Kazakhstan, Kirghizstan, Tadzhikistan and Uzbekistan and the autonomous CIS Republics of Russia, Aghinsk Buryat, Altai, Buryatia, Khakassia, Jewish Autonomous Region [Birobijan], Sakha [Yakutia], Tuva and Ust–Orda. In addition, one unofficial political division solely for mapping convenience is that of the Sakhalin & Kuril Islands {SKK}, which is newly included herein. Since the "Russian Republic " proper is so intertwined with (and often incorporates) the other listed Republics (and unlisted "Military Districts," etc.), "Russia" is only available as CIS. Separate Thematic Studies include only the theme listed.
- World–Class production of oil & minerals (gold, diamonds)
- Excellent oil & mining infrastructure
- Can make deals quickly
- Extensive production, pipelines & refineries
- Rails (full–gauge) connect to Pacific Port of Vladivostok
