Abstract
Background. The Sakhalin shelf is one of the key oil and gas regions of Russia, where significant hydrocarbon reserves are concentrated. The main deposits are located within the Sakhalin shelf of the Sea of Okhotsk, including the North Sakhalin oil and gas basin and the East Sakhalin oil and gas region.
Aim. Analysis of geological exploration and development of hydrocarbon deposits in the area under study.
Materials and methods. Review of data and materials borrowed from reference literature, stock sources, field data, and scientific publications.
Results. Technological solutions, environmental, economic, and regulatory measures are recommended for geological exploration and development of hydrocarbon deposits.
