The author of the report pointed out a perplexity of terminology meanings. For example, "slate oil" is not always extracted from slates and the term "non-traditional oil" is generally amazing. Many of speakers came round to his opinion. During his speeches Mr. A.V. Shpilman suggested not to use the term for oil, but say about nonstandard reservoirs and nonstandard methods of oil development, in his opinion that is the best translation of the English word "unconventional".

Mr. A.V. Shpilman acted as a moderator of the Session 3 "Discussion is the future of development and production of unconventional oil in Russia" on behalf of organizers of the Forum. A.N. Dmitrievsky, Member of Russian Academy of Sciences, R.S. Khisamov, Chief Geologist of Tatneft, G.I. Shmal, President of Union of Oil and Gas Producers of Russia and many other scientists, professionals and oil workers-experts took part in the discussion. The discussion was heated. The participants were not unanimous in set of questions especially concerning methods of Bazhen formation development. The participants of the discussion pointed out the necessity for establishment of its own research foundation for exploration, prospecting and development of such nonstandard reservoirs in Russia.

22-23 April, 2013 in the city of Khanty-Mansiysk in the Department of subsoil management on Khanty-Mansiysk autonomous okrug-Yugra there was held a workshop devoted to KHMAO-Yugra oil fields development`s  project targets monitoring for the year 2012 and subsoil users' plans for the year 2013. The workshop was held under the leadership of Bulatov A.M., Head of Yugra-Nedra.

Materials from 57 subsoil users were reviewed on the work session. During the year 2012 there was being carried out technological project information updating and, according to it, project annual level of oil production on KHMAO-Yugra was reduced on 10 millions of tons.

Due to technological project information updating on 98 fields, which was being carried out during the year 2012, a project annual level of oil production on KHMAO-Yugra was reduced on 10 millions of tons. As a result, the execution of project target was 97,9 % on okrug on the whole. Exploration drilling footage increased on 741 thous.m. in comparison with the year 2011. Project targets on oil recovery failure is connected with nonfulfillment of project targets on exploration drilling footage, putting of new wells on development, producing well stock and insufficient volumes of geological and technical works on okrug's fields.

In the year 2012 the next subsoil users reached the project target of oil recovery: LLC LUKOIL-WEST SIBERIA, Open Joint Stock Company ”Surgutneftegaz”, Open Joint Stock Company ”Gazprom neft”, Open Joint Stock Company ”Tomskneft VNK”, LLC “West-Malobalyikskoe” and “Kanbaiykal Resources inc.”

As representatives from CRRU, Shpilman A.V. - Director, Golub M.V. - deputy Director on geology, Tolstolyitkin I.P. - head of the department of  monitoring of oil and gas field development, Filatov S.A. - head of the department of geological and economics modeling. Mukharlyamova N.V. - head of a laboratory of the department of oil field development, Orengurkin A.V. - senior research worker of a laboratory of monitoring of oil field development, secretary of working party, took participation in the workshop.

Based on the results of commission work there will be drew up a Protocol, which will be introduced to Rosnedra for taking actions for cancellation of cases of project tergets' unfulfillment under oil and gas fields development.

From 2nd to 4th of April, 2013 in the city of Moscow was held 10th Anniversary International exhibition “Nedra-2013. Exploration. Prospecting. Production” in Russian National exhibition Centre in the pavilion № 55 in Moscow, devoted to the celebration of the Geologist's day.

The Event has been organized by Federal Agency on subsoil management (curator - Administration for the Geology of solid minerals), Russian geological community with the participation of Ministry of natural resources and ecology of Russian Federation. Since 2004, the exhibition has been held by the support of Federation Council; Committee on Natural Resources, Natural management and Ecology of State Duma of Federal Council of Russian Federation. Chamber of Commerce of Russian Federation, association of workers of oil and gas industry in Russia.

For the last nine years the exhibition has become a traditional court for the demonstration of innovative technologies in the sphere of subsoil management, technical and technological provision of geological and prospecting and mining works, as well this's a place of meeting for the specialists of geology sphere. There have been more than 100 organizations from 15 regions, have been managed 11 collective stands, where state and problems of geological exploration of a subsoil and replacement of the mineral raw material base are displayed on the exhibition, took place on the territory around 1500 km².

By the order of Department on subsoil management of Khanty-Mansi Autonomous okrug - Yugra, Autonomous Institution “V.I. Shpilman Research and Analytical Centre for the Rational Use of the Subsoil” participated in the exhibition. Dzhugashvili O.V. and Mikhailov A.E. were representatives from CRRU.

As a heart-warming tradition, during the working days of the exhibition there was held a bard songs festival “People go around the world”, which is incredibly popular among participators and guests of the exhibition.

18th of February, 2013 was held a legislative council section session under the State Duma Federal assembly of Russian Federation on Power Economy on the order of the meeting: ”About legislative initiatives in the sphere of oil production“, where Tolstolyitkin I.P. and Shpilman A.V., collaborators of Research and Analytical Centre for the rational Use of the Subsoil presented a report on the subject of “The Ways of optimizations and development of oil fields with the purpose of stabilization of oil production in KHMAO-Yugra and in Russia on the whole”.

Stabilization of Oil production has to be considered as a strategic purpose for the providing of energetic security in Russia. Since the year 1972, during 40 years, oilmen of Yugra have been providing more than 50 % of oil production in Russia. Stabilized oil production in Yugra and in West Siberia on the whole determines stable oil production in Russia. Since 1999 oil production has been constantly increasing, but in the year 2008 the growth stopped.

The main reason of oil production growth's cessation is degeneration of quality of reserves, brought into development. The state of things in oil industry can be improved only in the ways of innovative development of this field. Innovations are a tool to be opposed by resource base declining, water cut rising, declining of oil production. It demands such a serious scientific escort of development processes, deep core researching and formation's fluids. Innovative advanced technologies should possess high knowledge content and makes a perceptible effect such as considerable growth of recoverable reserves, which demands legislative support.

For increasing the efficacy of oil field development there are five necessary options:
1. State encouragement of methods for oil recovery increasing with the application of innovative technologies.
2. Legislatively determine strict criteria of innovative technologies.
3. Technological projecting of development through the perfection should become an innovative projecting.
4. Pay special attention to polygons for assaying and improvement of innovative technologies.
5. Legislatively foresee monitoring development and execution of project indicators as a composite part of the system of state expertise.

19-20 December, 2012 in the city of Khanty-Mansiysk at the Department for the use of the subsoil of Khanty-Mansi autonomous okrug-Yugra was held a buzz session on the subject of: “Strategic Coordination of Russian scientific centers activity in the area of exploration, prospecting and development the oil fields in West-Siberian oil and gas province” under the leadership of A.M.
