The beginning of the ESPO pipeline system construction and approval of the “Program for the geological study and presentation for use of hydrocarbon deposits in Eastern Siberia and the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia)” in 2005 gave the start to the active development of the East Siberian subsoils. The main activities of the Program were geological exploration and licensing. The application of the program approach to assessing the prospects for development of the territories under consideration is substantiated by the scale and importance of the tasks being solved for the entry of the East Siberian oil to markets of the Asia-Pacific region countries. There are no analogues of the assessment of such vast territories on the basis of the applied approach in world practice yet.

Keywords: Eastern Siberia, geological exploration, lisencing, mineral resources base, raw hydrocarbons, program approach.
