Abstract
A base of petroleum resorves has been constructed in the Sakha Republic (Yakutia), which is sufficient not only for satisfying the domestic needs but also for transporting oil and gas beyond the republic. The recentmost data dictate the trends of prospecting to enhance the base of oil and gas extraction. There exist specific conditions complicating the process of oil and gas extraction at the Yakutian deposits, which are due to the presence of permafrost in the sedimentary cover. The main problems of development of the Yakutian petroleum complex have been discussed.
