One of the significant sources of the increase in reserves and oil production at the present stage are deposits of super-viscous oils (natural bitumen), the geological resources of which in the Republic of Tatarstan range from 1.5 to 7 billion. The fields of super-viscous oils have their own characteristics: small depths and sizes, oils have high density and viscosity.

In the second half of the last century, the first symptoms appeared, indicating the alarming consequences of intensive mining.
