Avamsky district Diksonsky district Dudinsky district Ust-Yenisei district Khatanga district Taimyr Autonomous Okrug

Avamsky district Diksonsky district Dudinsky district Ust-Yenisei district Khatanga district existed until 2007; from January 1, 2007 - Taimyr Dolgano-Nenets district of the Krasnoyarsk Territory. - one of the subjects of Russia, which is located beyond the Arctic Circle. The territory of the district is washed by the Laptev Sea and the Red Sea. There is the northernmost point of Russia -

Cape Chelyuskin. The administrative center of the district is the city Dudinka

, whose population is only 32 thousand people. Such large rivers of Russia as the Yenisei and Khatanga flow through the territory of this region. Climate of the Taimyr Autonomous Okrug arctic and very harsh. The average temperature in summer is from +2 to +13, and in winter - - 30 C. Therefore for a long time Taimyr District

was uninhabited. Particularly diverse animal world

The Taimyr (Dolgano-Nenets) Autonomous Okrug was formed on December 10, 1930. It is a subject of the Russian Federation. The capital is the city of Dudinka. The Taimyr Autonomous Okrug is the only Russian region located entirely beyond the Arctic Circle - between the 68th and 82nd parallel.

General information

The Taimyr (Dolgano-Nenets) Autonomous Okrug was formed on December 10, 1930. Is the subject Russian Federation. The capital is the city of Dudinka.

The Taimyr Autonomous Okrug is the only Russian region located entirely beyond the Arctic Circle - between the 68th and 82nd parallel. In the east it borders with the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), in the south with Evenkia and the Krasnoyarsk Territory, in the west with the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug. From the north it is washed by the waters of the Kara Sea and the Laptev Sea. The northernmost point of Eurasia is located on Taimyr - Cape Chelyuskin (770 43" N).

The district includes four municipalities:

Dikson district (center of the town of Dikson), which includes Dikson Island and part of the Arctic coast of the Yenisei Gulf;

Ust-Yenisei district (center of Karaul village), its territory extends along the banks of the river. Yenisei below the city of Dudinka;

Khatanga district (the center of Khatanga), it includes the Khatanga River basin and the entire northeastern part of the district, up to the borders of Yakutia;

The city of Dudinka and the territory subordinate to the city administration (the center of Dudinka) includes the basin of the Kheta River, a tributary of the Khatanga, and the central part of the peninsula, as well as the southern strip of forest-tundra on both banks of the Yenisei above the city of Dudinka.

There are 22 settlements located on the territory of the districts. The capital of the district is a major sea and river port, through which the main cargo turnover is carried out and products of OJSC MMC Norilsk Nickel are shipped, as well as the administrative and cultural center of the district.

As of July 1, 2004, the Database of the Unified State Register of Enterprises and Organizations (USRPO) included 837 business entities located in the district.

The territory of Taimyr is characterized by low population density - 0.044 people per 1 sq. km. or 1 person per 22 sq. km.

The population as of January 1, 2004 is 39.44 thousand people. Of these, 26,111 people live in urban areas, and 13,324 live in rural areas.

Harsh climate, thin air, high atmospheric pressure, fierce winds, polar night - 9,826 indigenous people live in these conditions:

Dolgan - 5510 people;

Nentsev - 3054 people;

Nganasan - 766 people;

Evenkov - 299 people;

Entsev - 197 people.

Area 884.4 thousand square meters. km. The conditions of the Far North leave their own special regional imprint on transport complex districts. January temperature is -29 -35 C° on average, frosts -45 C° -50 C° are not uncommon. Winter 8-9 months a year.

Polar night 45 days, polar day 68 days. Geographical position The Taimyr Autonomous Okrug is characterized by great remoteness from industrial centers and places of consumption of manufactured products, which in turn negatively affects the development of the territory. Taimyr has mainly permafrost soils and tundra swampy soils.

Daily temperature changes reach (-10-15 C°), strong snowstorms, poor visibility and fog prevail.

In May-June, snow melting and ice drift begin; the level rise in the Yenisei River is 10 -14 m from the nominal level (5.6 - 6 m).

Frequent traffic jams threaten flooding both coastal villages and the city. High level water during the half-month forces us to evacuate all cargo and buildings from the berths of the Dudinsky seaport, and raise portal cranes to the non-flooding level (20 m).

In the south of the district there is the mountain system of the Putorana Plateau and the Anabar Plateau, a large number of mountain rivers and lakes. The height of the mountains is up to 1,700 m. In the north are the Byrranga Mountains. The territory is predominantly occupied by the North Siberian Lowland, which is located between these mountain ranges. The high concentration of lakes, swamps and rivers makes these places difficult to navigate.

The short northern summer warms the earth by 0.5 m, but underground lenses and currents cannot be excluded. Sharp changes in pressure and temperature, magnetic storms and almost constant winds - all of this together leaves a special mark on our region.

A peculiarity of the geographical location of Taimyr is the combination of the Arctic, tundra and forest-tundra. The height of the snow cover in winter reaches 1.5-2 m. In the spring, steep snow canyons form in the floodplains of rivers, especially in the north of the district. At the end of August and September, autumn begins in the tundra and in the first half of October ice appears on rivers and lakes, and summer river navigation stops. The ice thickness at the end of December and January reaches 1.5 m.

Coat of arms and flag of the district

The coat of arms of the Taimyr (Dolgano-Nenets) Autonomous Okrug is an image of a red-breasted goose on a blue background, above which in the upper part of the coat of arms is a white disc of the sun.

The flag of the Taimyr Autonomous Okrug is derived from its coat of arms and on its blue cloth (2:3), as on the coat of arms, there is an image of a red-breasted goose (Branta ruficollis) flying to the free edge of the flag, with a red head and chest and black and white plumage, in the center of a white circle with a diameter of 1/2 the width of the flag, from which two vertical and two horizontal narrow white rays extend.

Agriculture and fishing industry of the district

67 enterprises in the district are engaged in priority types of agricultural activities - domestic reindeer herding, hunting (harvesting wild reindeer, partridge, commercial furs), and fishing.

Throughout the reporting period, the transformation of state-owned district agricultural enterprises into commercial and non-profit organizations private form of ownership.

As of October 1, 2004, the largest specific gravity In the total number of agricultural organizations, peasant (farm) enterprises, societies with limited liability and producer cooperatives.

For 9 months of 2004 products Agriculture in the district issued in the amount of 0.2 million rubles. The index of physical volume of agricultural production amounted to 24.8%. 12.6 tons of meat and 7.2 tons of milk were produced.

The livestock population was completely preserved (pigs and sheep), and the increase in the number of cattle was 115.4%.

43.4 thousand heads of domestic reindeer are grazed on 40.1 million hectares of pastures, including agricultural ones state enterprises- 10.0 thousand heads, 64 teams produce commercial products.

In addition to deer meat, agricultural enterprises produce skins, camus, antlers and antlers.

Additional products of reindeer husbandry are used in the souvenir and light industry, and antlers are considered a valuable medical raw material and are exported under agreements with foreign countries - Japan and Korea.

The volumes of production of wild reindeer meat and domestic reindeer meat make it possible to fully meet the district's needs for this dietary and delicacy product, and in the diet of the indigenous peoples of Taimyr, venison is one of the main foodstuffs.

The Arctic is a unique region where inimitable natural conditions, unique flora and fauna. Three reserves have been created on the territory of the district: Arctic, Putoransky, Taimyrsky.

The largest reserve in Russia is the Arctic. Taimyr is home to 35 species of mammals, 139 species of birds and 29 species of fish.

Taimyr is a kind of cradle of intercontinental bird migration routes. It is also home to the world's largest free-living population of wild reindeer. The number of wild reindeer, according to estimates from the Research Institute of Agriculture of the Far North, is approximately 350 - 400 thousand heads.

Huge territories of rivers, lakes, reservoirs, occupying an area of ​​more than 64.0 thousand square meters. km. are replete with a variety of fish species, of which the largest proportion are valuable species: omul, muksun, broad whitefish, nelma, whitefish, peled, vendace, smelt. In addition, in the basins of rivers and lakes of Taimyr, fish from the salmon family are caught - chum salmon, lake char, grayling, red fish - sturgeon and sterlet.

The Taimyr tundra is also rich in commercial game; northern partridge and hare are hunted by indigenous peoples of the North; duck and goose hunting opens in spring and autumn.

Main enterprises of Taimyr

Railway connection

The railway connects the port of Dudinka with the Norilsk industrial region. The total length of the railway is about 110 km.

An extensive network of access to port berths, cargo storage bases and warehouse sites in the Norilsk industrial region.

The railway transports almost 90% of general cargo arriving by water transport to the region and 97% of the export of manufactured products from the Polar Division of OJSC MMC Norilsk Nickel to the port of Dudinka. The operation of the railway and rolling stock is carried out by a structural division of the Polar Division of OJSC MMC Norilsk Nickel " - Norilsk Railway.

Road transport

There is one federal highway in the district: Dudinka - Alykel Airport, connecting the city of Dudinka with the cities of the Norilsk industrial region. The road network does not have access to the main highways of Russia.

There are no roads connecting settlements, since their construction and maintenance require significant material costs. Transport links between settlements carried out on winter roads, the maintenance of which does not require large material costs. Transportation on such roads is carried out irregularly (December-May) and depends on weather conditions.

Connection

In January-June 2003, communications companies provided 585.6 thousand long-distance telephone calls, including 28.5 thousand international calls, and sent 31.7 thousand telegrams.

As of July 1, 2003, the number of main telephone sets connected to the public network of organizations of the Russian Ministry of Communications amounted to 8,302 units, which is 13.0% more than as of July 1, 2002. The number of basic telephones installed among the population increased by 14.6% and totals 6,592 units.

Construction

During January-September 2004, a volume of work worth 341.6 million rubles was completed using our own resources under construction contracts.

Most of the work was carried out by large and medium-sized organizations. Under construction contracts, a volume of work worth 141.9 million rubles was completed, or 147.8% compared to the same period last year; construction and installation work worth 173.4 million rubles was carried out using economic methods (199.6% of the level of the corresponding period last year).

A new medical building district hospital with 150 beds.

The design and construction of the structure was carried out by the Slovenian company BIRO-71 and the Norilsk company Energotekh, which have Huge experience such work. The total construction period was 2 years. The five-story district hospital is equipped with modern medical equipment. Some of the equipment, such as the sterilization unit, is unique to the territory.

The total cost of the project (construction, finishing, design, purchase and installation of new equipment) amounted to over 200 million rubles. Funding came from the district budget.

Natural resources of Taimyr

The natural resources of Taimyr are unique and have global significance. The world's largest deposits of copper-nickel ores (Talnakh and Oktyabrskoye) are concentrated on the territory of Taimyr; there are deposits of industrial (impact) diamonds (Udarnoye, Skalistoye) and independent deposits that are unique in their scale noble metals, apatite-magnetite ores with tantaloniobates, lead-zinc deposits, colossal reserves are concentrated solid fuel(total reserves of brown and hard coal are estimated at 500-700 billion tons) and many others.

More than 30 oil and gas fields have been discovered in Taimyr and adjacent territories (Messoyakhskoye, Pelyatkinskoye, Suzunskoye, Tagulskoye, Payakhskoye, Vankorskoye, etc.) and a wide range of non-metallic minerals - raw materials for construction, chemical and light industry, instrument making, as well as decorative, semi-precious and jewelry stones, deposits of high-quality muscovite and phlogopite have been explored. In the eastern part of Taimyr there are thick layers of rock salt.

Three deposits of fresh groundwater are exploited in the district (Talnakhskoye, Ergalakhskoye, Ambarninskoye). Valkovskoye field discovered and put into operation mineral waters, which the dispensary currently uses. And this is not a complete list of known deposits.

Mineral resource base

The basis of Taimyr's mineral resource base is complex platinum-copper-nickel ores.

More than half of all reserves of nickel, copper, cobalt and platinum group metals in Russia are concentrated in the North Siberian nickel-bearing province within the Taimyr District.

All proven reserves are concentrated in the Norilsk industrial region. The provision of operating mining enterprises in the Norilsk industrial region with reserves of mineral raw materials is assessed as very good.

43% of proven reserves of copper (of all Russian reserves), 71% of nickel, 98% of platinum group metals, and 7% of gold are concentrated here. Most of the precious metals are extracted as a by-product during the processing of complex platinum-copper-nickel ores. This represents about 90% of the platinum group metals and about 7% of gold from the total production in Russia.

In addition, large predicted resources of noble metals, primarily platinum group metals, are contained in technogenic formations concentrated in the waste tailings of the mining and metallurgical production of OJSC Norilsk Mining Company. There are technogenic objects formed in the early period of exploitation of complex ores, in which the average content of platinum group metals is 2.5 g/t.

The predicted operational resources of groundwater in the Taimyr Autonomous Okrug are 284.1 thousand m3/day. In general, the district is rich in groundwater resources in the Dudinsky and Norilsk industrial regions, where 95% of the population lives; Khatanga, Ust-Yenisei and Dikson districts are not provided. The district's operational groundwater reserves amount to 236.3 thousand m3/day, of which 230.0 thousand m3/day are prepared for industrial development.

Fuel and energy resources

Coal. It is widespread throughout the district and is confined to three large coal-bearing basins: Tunguska, Taimyr, Lensky. The total resources of hard and brown coals in them are estimated at approximately 500-700 billion tons. The resources of the Tunguska basin are estimated at 280 billion tons, including coking coal - 31 billion tons.

The Taimyr coal basin is less studied. The known deposits Slobodskoye, Krestyanskoye, Syradasaiskoye, Pyasinskoye (Western Taimyr) and Chernoyarskoye (Central Taimyr) have been assessed preliminary. Permian coals of Western Taimyr are characterized by high quality characteristics. Proximity to the seaport of Dikson, high quality coal, significant reserves and resources make this area promising for the development of coking coal for export. The resources of the Taimyr coal basin are estimated at 175 billion tons, including 74 billion tons of coking coal.

The Lena brown coal basin is represented by brown, high-calorie coals suitable for gasification.

The district contains large reserves of graphite and thermoanthracite. Within the Taimyr coal basin there is a deposit of graphite and thermoanthracite.

High quality of graphites, determined by low ash content (4-6%), low volatile yield (1-3.5%), low silica content (1.7-3.3%) and high free carbon content (90-92%) , makes it possible to use them in industry as crucible and standard grades.

Forecast resources for the field as a whole are estimated at 250-300 million tons for each type of raw material. In addition, a number of occurrences of graphite and thermoanthracite of the same type with total resources of about 1000 million tons have been identified in Western Taimyr.

Oil and natural gas. On the territory of the district there is one of the richest oil and gas bearing areas (OPO) of the Krasnoyarsk Territory - the Yenisei-Khatanga Khatanga-Vilyui oil and gas province (OGP), partially - the Pur-Tazovskaya oil and gas province of the West Siberian oil and gas province and the North Tunguska oil and gas province of the Leno-Tunguska oil and gas province.

15 gas condensate, gas and gas-oil fields have been discovered within the district. The largest of them, Messoyakha, Pelyatkinskoye, Deryabinskoye, are located in the Ust-Yenisei region.

The Messoyakha field is in production. Gas is delivered via a gas pipeline through the town of Dudinka to the Norilsk industrial region. The exploitation of the field (together with Soleninsky) is carried out by the Norilskgazprom enterprise, which produces an average of 3-4 billion m3 of gas per year. In Dudinka, a condensate processing plant with a capacity of 40-46 thousand tons of fuel operates on the basis of this gas.

Two large gas condensate fields have been prepared for development - Pelyatkinskoye and Deryabinskoye.

In the northeast of the district, in the Khatanga region, on the left bank of the Khatanga Bay, small oil deposits (Nordvikskaya, Ilyinskaya and Kozhevnikovskaya) were discovered.

In the south of the Ust-Yenisei and Dudinka districts on the left bank of the river. Yenisei (110-120 km from Dudinka) is the Suzunskoye oil and gas field, also prepared for development.

Near the Suzunskoye field, seismic exploration work is underway in the highly promising Pendomayakhsky area with a resource potential of 60 million tons of conventional hydrocarbons.

On the right bank of the river. Yenisei, in its lower reaches an oil deposit was discovered at the Payakhskoye field, where prospecting work is underway to clarify its morphology and size in order to estimate oil reserves.

According to experts, it is the Taimyr Autonomous Okrug in the 21st century that can become Russia’s main reserve for increasing oil and gas reserves on a large scale, where there will gradually be a smooth transition of the main oil and gas production areas of the West Siberian oil and gas basin.

Geology. In accordance with current legislation in the field of protection environment, behind reporting period 19 agreements were prepared and concluded between the District Administration and water users for the use of surface water bodies.

In January-September 2004, work began in 2003 in the field of subsoil use to process large-scale satellite imagery materials, the purpose of which was to identify areas promising for hydrocarbon raw materials. Another important direction of this work is replenishing the database of multispectral space surveys for reference objects and creating their remote bases.

A comprehensive airborne geophysical survey was completed over an area of ​​10 thousand square meters. km, as a result of which the initial data were obtained for constructing structural-tectonic diagrams of the basement and thickness of Meso-Cenozoic deposits. The results of airborne geophysical work will make it possible to identify promising areas for oil and gas.

As a result of seismic exploration in the northwestern part of the Siberian platform, a large oil and gas promising structure was identified - the North Pyasinsky swell.

Work continued on a set of ground-based geological and geophysical methods to assess the oil and gas content of promising areas. A complex of geophysical and geochemical methods was carried out. For the first time in Russia, within the framework of the project, geochemical research using the GORE-SORBER method was carried out with the involvement of JSC Coordination Center ROSGEOFIZIKA (St. Petersburg) and the international corporation WL Gore & Associated Inc. (Germany).

As part of the audit and assessment work for hydrocarbon raw materials (oil) in Eastern Taimyr, an assessment was carried out resource potential Eastern Taimyr for oil, developing a strategy for regional oil exploration for the near future, preparing the territory for parametric and exploratory drilling, assessing economic risks during the development of the Nordvinskoye oil field.

All work was carried out with supervisory support, ensuring quality control of field materials when obtaining new data on geological structure and oil and gas potential of the district.

Work continues on the creation of a geographic information system" Natural resources"For 9 months of 2004, databases on deposits (fuel and energy resources and solid minerals), a stratigraphic and paleontological database, as well as a database of stock literature on the geology of the district were created.

Trading Opportunities

On the territory of the district, hard coal is mined for the needs of enterprises and the population of the Khatanga region. The volumes of industrial and agricultural products produced are insignificant and are sold on the domestic market of the region.

Constant foreign economic activity is carried out by OJSC MMC Norilsk Nickel, whose turnover in export volumes accounts for more than 99%.

Main foreign economic activity joint stock company is aimed at export, through the export of metals through the Dudinsky seaport, to foreign countries.

Basic industries: mining (Kotum mine - hard coal), fishing (Khatanga and Dudinsky fish factories). On the territory of the district is the Norilsk industrial region (RAO Norilsk Nickel). Ust-Khantayskaya HPP.

Reindeer husbandry, fur farming, fur farming (blue fox, silver-black fox). Meat and dairy cattle breeding and poultry farming are slightly developed. Navigation on the Yenisei, Khatanga and Northern Sea Route rivers. Main ports: Dudinka, Dikson, Khatanga. Railway Dudinka - Norilsk - Talnakh. Gas pipeline Messoyakha - Norilsk. Road density 0.1 km/thousand, km 2 (1997).

Cash expenditures per capita 94% of the Russian average; number of personal cars 25.0 per 1000 people; unemployment 4.0% (1997).

The Taimyr (Dolgano-Nenets) Autonomous Okrug was formed on December 10, 1930. It is a subject of the Russian Federation. The capital is the city of Dudinka. The Taimyr Autonomous Okrug is the only Russian region located entirely beyond the Arctic Circle - between the 68th and 82nd parallel.

General information

The Taimyr (Dolgano-Nenets) Autonomous Okrug was formed on December 10, 1930. It is a subject of the Russian Federation. The capital is the city of Dudinka.

The Taimyr Autonomous Okrug is the only Russian region located entirely beyond the Arctic Circle - between the 68th and 82nd parallel. In the east it borders with the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), in the south with Evenkia and the Krasnoyarsk Territory, in the west with the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug. From the north it is washed by the waters of the Kara Sea and the Laptev Sea. The northernmost point of Eurasia is located on Taimyr - Cape Chelyuskin (770 43" N).

The district includes four municipalities:

Dikson district (center of the town of Dikson), which includes Dikson Island and part of the Arctic coast of the Yenisei Gulf;

Ust-Yenisei district (center of Karaul village), its territory extends along the banks of the river. Yenisei below the city of Dudinka;

Khatanga district (the center of Khatanga), it includes the Khatanga River basin and the entire northeastern part of the district, up to the borders of Yakutia;

The city of Dudinka and the territory subordinate to the city administration (the center of Dudinka) includes the basin of the Kheta River, a tributary of the Khatanga, and the central part of the peninsula, as well as the southern strip of forest-tundra on both banks of the Yenisei above the city of Dudinka.

There are 22 settlements located on the territory of the districts. The capital of the district is a major sea and river port, through which the main cargo turnover is carried out and products of OJSC MMC Norilsk Nickel are shipped, as well as the administrative and cultural center of the district.

As of July 1, 2004, the Database of the Unified State Register of Enterprises and Organizations (USRPO) included 837 business entities located in the district.

The territory of Taimyr is characterized by low population density - 0.044 people per 1 sq. km. or 1 person per 22 sq. km.

The population as of January 1, 2004 is 39.44 thousand people. Of these, 26,111 people live in urban areas, and 13,324 live in rural areas.

Harsh climate, thin air, high atmospheric pressure, fierce winds, polar night - 9,826 indigenous people live in these conditions:

Dolgan - 5510 people;

Nentsev - 3054 people;

Nganasan - 766 people;

Evenkov - 299 people;

Entsev - 197 people.

Area 884.4 thousand square meters. km. The conditions of the Far North leave their own special regional imprint on the transport complex of the district. January temperature is -29 -35 C° on average, frosts -45 C° -50 C° are not uncommon. Winter 8-9 months a year.

Polar night 45 days, polar day 68 days. The geographical location of the Taimyr Autonomous Okrug is characterized by great remoteness from industrial centers and places of consumption of manufactured products, which in turn negatively affects the development of the territory. Taimyr has mainly permafrost soils and tundra swampy soils.

Daily temperature changes reach (-10-15 C°), strong snowstorms, poor visibility and fog prevail.

In May-June, snow melting and ice drift begin; the level rise in the Yenisei River is 10 -14 m from the nominal level (5.6 - 6 m).

Frequent traffic jams threaten flooding both coastal villages and the city. The high water level during the half-month forces us to evacuate all cargo and buildings from the berths of the Dudinsky seaport and raise portal cranes to the non-flooding level (20 m).

In the south of the district there is the mountain system of the Putorana Plateau and the Anabar Plateau, a large number of mountain rivers and lakes. The height of the mountains is up to 1,700 m. In the north are the Byrranga Mountains. The territory is predominantly occupied by the North Siberian Lowland, which is located between these mountain ranges. The high concentration of lakes, swamps and rivers makes these places difficult to navigate.

The short northern summer warms the earth by 0.5 m, but underground lenses and currents cannot be excluded. Sharp changes in pressure and temperature, magnetic storms and almost constant winds - all of this together leaves a special mark on our region.

A peculiarity of the geographical location of Taimyr is the combination of the Arctic, tundra and forest-tundra. The height of the snow cover in winter reaches 1.5-2 m. In the spring, steep snow canyons form in the floodplains of rivers, especially in the north of the district. At the end of August and September, autumn begins in the tundra and in the first half of October ice appears on rivers and lakes, and summer river navigation stops. The ice thickness at the end of December and January reaches 1.5 m.

Coat of arms and flag of the district

The coat of arms of the Taimyr (Dolgano-Nenets) Autonomous Okrug is an image of a red-breasted goose on a blue background, above which in the upper part of the coat of arms is a white disc of the sun.

The flag of the Taimyr Autonomous Okrug is derived from its coat of arms and on its blue cloth (2:3), as on the coat of arms, there is an image of a red-breasted goose (Branta ruficollis) flying to the free edge of the flag, with a red head and chest and black and white plumage, in the center of a white circle with a diameter of 1/2 the width of the flag, from which two vertical and two horizontal narrow white rays extend.

Agriculture and fishing industry of the district

67 enterprises in the district are engaged in priority types of agricultural activities - domestic reindeer herding, hunting (harvesting wild reindeer, partridge, commercial furs), and fishing.

Throughout the reporting period, the transformation of state-owned district agricultural enterprises into commercial and non-profit organizations of private ownership, which began in 2003, continued in the district.

As of October 1, 2004, the largest share in the total number of agricultural organizations is occupied by peasant (farm) enterprises, limited liability companies and production cooperatives.

For 9 months of 2004, agricultural products in the district were produced in the amount of 0.2 million rubles. The index of physical volume of agricultural production amounted to 24.8%. 12.6 tons of meat and 7.2 tons of milk were produced.

The livestock population was completely preserved (pigs and sheep), and the increase in the number of cattle was 115.4%.

43.4 thousand heads of domestic reindeer are grazed on 40.1 million hectares of pastures, including 10.0 thousand heads in state agricultural enterprises; 64 teams produce commercial products.

In addition to deer meat, agricultural enterprises produce skins, camus, antlers and antlers.

Additional products of reindeer husbandry are used in the souvenir and light industry, and antlers are considered a valuable medical raw material and are exported under agreements with foreign countries - Japan and Korea.

The volumes of production of wild reindeer meat and domestic reindeer meat make it possible to fully meet the district's needs for this dietary and delicacy product, and in the diet of the indigenous peoples of Taimyr, venison is one of the main foodstuffs.

The Arctic is a unique region with unique natural conditions, unique flora and fauna. Three reserves have been created on the territory of the district: Arctic, Putoransky, Taimyrsky.

The largest reserve in Russia is the Arctic. Taimyr is home to 35 species of mammals, 139 species of birds and 29 species of fish.

Taimyr is a kind of cradle of intercontinental bird migration routes. It is also home to the world's largest free-living population of wild reindeer. The number of wild reindeer, according to estimates from the Research Institute of Agriculture of the Far North, is approximately 350 - 400 thousand heads.

Huge territories of rivers, lakes, reservoirs, occupying an area of ​​more than 64.0 thousand square meters. km. are replete with a variety of fish species, of which the largest proportion are valuable species: omul, muksun, broad whitefish, nelma, whitefish, peled, vendace, smelt. In addition, in the basins of rivers and lakes of Taimyr, fish from the salmon family are caught - chum salmon, lake char, grayling, red fish - sturgeon and sterlet.

The Taimyr tundra is also rich in commercial game; northern partridge and hare are hunted by indigenous peoples of the North; duck and goose hunting opens in spring and autumn.

Main enterprises of Taimyr

Dudinsky sea port

Dudinsky Sea Port is a structural subdivision of the Polar Branch of OJSC Mining and Metallurgical Company Norilsk Nickel. The port is necessary to ensure year-round navigation, import and export of general cargo and finished products of the world leader in metallurgy, Polar Division OJSC MMC Norilsk Nickel.

The port's berths are flooded during the spring flood, and therefore equipment and cargo are completely evacuated to the non-flooding level of 20 m. The peak of the flood occurs on average on June 7, during ice drift. The maximum water level was recorded in 1999 at 21.49 m. The main sea berths of the port at the 8-meter mark are cleared of water by July 1, the total length is 1,740 m. In order to prevent destruction of communication routes in the port, an ice-protective dam was built at the spit of the river's confluence Dudinka in the river Yenisei. Berth depths from 8 to 12 m make it possible to accommodate vessels with a carrying capacity of up to 17 thousand tons. Summer navigation is 130 days, from June 15 to October 20. Winter navigation is ensured by escorting transport vessels by an icebreaker fleet.

The port's berth capacity is 25 thousand tons per day. The area of ​​hydraulic structures of the warehouses is 706.5 hectares. The cargo berth consists of 23 river and 9 sea berths, including a special berth. cargo located at the mouth of the river. Dudinka and 8 high water berths, flooded from 14 m.

The body of the pier - sunken ships, barges, pontoons, are ballasted with ASG and placed on the ground.

Dikson seaport

Located at 73°N. 80°E on the southern coast of the Kara Sea. Purpose: supporting the life of the village of Dikson, Arctic expeditions and polar stations. Depths near the berths of 15 meters allow loading and unloading operations on ships with a carrying capacity of up to 50 thousand tons. The body of the pier is reinforced concrete. Summer sea navigation is possible from August 10 to September 20. Winter navigation is possible all year round if ships are escorted by an icebreaker fleet.

The port's cargo turnover is 14 thousand tons per year. The total depreciation of fixed assets and assets is 70%. The Dikson seaport is of strategic importance due to its geographical central location on the routes of the Northern Sea Route.

Transport connections of the district with other regions of Russia and the world from the North are carried out along the Northern Sea Route by ships of the Murmansk, Northern and other shipping companies.

The limiting roll Turushinsky (9.2-9.7 m) for the movement of sea vessels is located 250 km north of Dudinka. From the south, the main transport artery is the Yenisei River. Cargo is transported by vessels of JSC Yenisei River Shipping Company and TK Transit - SV. Passenger transportation on the route Krasnoyarsk - Dudinka is carried out by vessels of JSC "ERP" on comfortable three-deck motor ships of the "Chkalov" and "Matrosov" type.

Dudinsky motor transport enterprise

Structural division of the Polar Branch of OJSC MMC Norilsk Nickel. The main functions are to provide technological transportation to the Dudinsky seaport of the Polar Branch of OJSC MMC Norilsk Nickel.

In addition to its main activities, Dudinsky ATP occupies a dominant position in the market of transport services for the delivery of goods to the Norilsk industrial region, and also carries out intracity and intercity passenger transportation by buses to Alykel Airport and Norilsk.

OJSC "Kotui Mine"

The coal enterprise is developing the Kayak coal deposit, located in the Khatanga region, 90 km from the village. Khatanga, on the bank of the river. Kotui. Coal production is about 40.0 thousand tons per year.

Aviation transport

Provides year-round cargo and passenger services to the villages of the district. Air transport is of paramount importance in the district. Part of the costs in the form of subsidies to airlines to cover losses from passenger flights on local air routes comes from the district budget.

In Taimyr, the following airlines operate in the field of air transport: Taimyr Airlines OJSC, Alykel CJSC, Khatanga United Aviation Squadron State Unitary Enterprise, Zapolyarye Airlines LLC, Norilsk Aviation Enterprise State Unitary Enterprise.

CJSC "Alykel" Airport complex "Norilsk" - airport activities for servicing aircraft arriving (departing) at Norilsk airport. About 15 airlines operate regular passenger flights to Norilsk Airport.

"Khatanga United Air Squadron". A subsidiary of the state unitary enterprise "Norilsk Aviation Enterprise". Carries out transportation of passengers, mail, cargo, aviation work, airport servicing of aircraft, including transit ones.

Taimyr Airlines OJSC. The main activities are the transportation of passengers, mail, cargo, aviation work on Mi-8 helicopters, airport services at Dudinka, Dikson, Valek and Shushenskoye airports. Taimyr Airline OJSC was established in the process of external management and based on the property of the State Unitary Enterprise "Norilsk Aviation Enterprise".

State unitary enterprise "Norilsk Aviation Enterprise". In accordance with the external management plan, the legislation of the Russian Federation, federal property that is not subject to privatization is under the economic management of the State Unitary Enterprise "NAP". This property: runways, taxiways and aprons at the airports of Norilsk, Valek, Dudinka, Dikson, Shushenskoye, social facilities - the housing stock of the villages of Alykel and Dikson, the energy sector of the village of Dikson (boiler house and diesel power plant), as well as facilities and equipment of services ATC and ERTOS of these airports. Also, the working personnel of these services remained in the State Unitary Enterprise "NAP".

Zapolyarye Airlines LLC carries out the transportation of passengers, cargo and aviation work in the region using An-2 and An-3 aircraft, and competes with the above two carrier enterprises. However, due to certain flight characteristics, operating requirements and the need in equipped runways in the villages of the district for aircraft, this competition is insignificant. Also, Zapolyarye Airlines LLC transports passengers, cargo and luggage on the routes Norilsk - Dikson - Norilsk and Norilsk - Khatanga - Norilsk, as well as outside the district on the routes. aircraft An-12, An-26, An-24.

Since March 2003, regular passenger flights have been carried out on the An-3 (An-2) to the villages of the Dudinsky and Ust-Yenisei districts from Dudinka airport in the winter (and since 2004 - all year round with the exception of two months - from mid-May to mid-June and from October to November).

Railway connection

The railway connects the port of Dudinka with the Norilsk industrial region. The total length of the railway is about 110 km.

An extensive network of access to port berths, cargo storage bases and warehouse sites in the Norilsk industrial region.

The railway transports almost 90% of general cargo arriving by water transport to the region and 97% of the export of manufactured products from the Polar Division of OJSC MMC Norilsk Nickel to the port of Dudinka. The operation of the railway and rolling stock is carried out by a structural division of the Polar Division of OJSC MMC Norilsk Nickel " - Norilsk Railway.

Road transport

There is one federal highway in the district: Dudinka - Alykel Airport, connecting the city of Dudinka with the cities of the Norilsk industrial region. The road network does not have access to the main highways of Russia.

There are no roads connecting settlements, since their construction and maintenance require significant material costs. Transport communication between settlements is carried out via winter roads, the maintenance of which does not require large material costs. Transportation on such roads is carried out irregularly (December-May) and depends on weather conditions.

Connection

In January-June 2003, communications companies provided 585.6 thousand long-distance telephone calls, including 28.5 thousand international calls, and sent 31.7 thousand telegrams.

As of July 1, 2003, the number of main telephone sets connected to the public network of organizations of the Russian Ministry of Communications amounted to 8,302 units, which is 13.0% more than as of July 1, 2002. The number of basic telephones installed among the population increased by 14.6% and totals 6,592 units.

Construction

During January-September 2004, a volume of work worth 341.6 million rubles was completed using our own resources under construction contracts.

Most of the work was carried out by large and medium-sized organizations. Under construction contracts, a volume of work worth 141.9 million rubles was completed, or 147.8% compared to the same period last year; construction and installation work worth 173.4 million rubles was carried out using economic methods (199.6% of the level of the corresponding period last year).

A new medical building of the district hospital with 150 beds has opened in the capital of the Taimyr (Dolgano-Nenets) Autonomous Okrug.

The design and construction of the structure was carried out by the Slovenian company BIRO-71 and the Norilsk company Energotekh, which have extensive experience in such work. The total construction period was 2 years. The five-story district hospital is equipped with modern medical equipment. Some of the equipment, such as the sterilization unit, is unique to the territory.

The total cost of the project (construction, finishing, design, purchase and installation of new equipment) amounted to over 200 million rubles. Funding came from the district budget.

Natural resources of Taimyr

The natural resources of Taimyr are unique and have global significance. The world's largest deposits of copper-nickel ores are concentrated on the territory of Taimyr (Talnakh and Oktyabrskoye), there are unique deposits of technical (impact) diamonds (Udarnoye, Skalistoye), independent deposits of precious metals, apatite-magnetite ores with tantaloniobates, lead-zinc deposits, concentrated colossal reserves of solid fuel (total reserves of brown and hard coal are estimated at 500-700 billion tons) and many others.

More than 30 oil and gas fields have been discovered in Taimyr and adjacent territories (Messoyakhskoye, Pelyatkinskoye, Suzunskoye, Tagulskoye, Payakhskoye, Vankorskoye, etc.) and a wide range of non-metallic minerals - raw materials for construction, chemical and light industries, instrument making, as well as decorative ornamental and jewelry stones; deposits of high-quality muscovite and phlogopite have been explored. In the eastern part of Taimyr there are thick layers of rock salt.

Three deposits of fresh groundwater are exploited in the district (Talnakhskoye, Ergalakhskoye, Ambarninskoye). The Valkovskoye deposit of mineral waters was discovered and put into operation, which is currently used by the dispensary. And this is not a complete list of known deposits.

Mineral resource base

The basis of Taimyr's mineral resource base is complex platinum-copper-nickel ores.

More than half of all reserves of nickel, copper, cobalt and platinum group metals in Russia are concentrated in the North Siberian nickel-bearing province within the Taimyr District.

All proven reserves are concentrated in the Norilsk industrial region. The provision of operating mining enterprises in the Norilsk industrial region with reserves of mineral raw materials is assessed as very good.

43% of proven reserves of copper (of all Russian reserves), 71% of nickel, 98% of platinum group metals, and 7% of gold are concentrated here. Most of the precious metals are extracted as a by-product during the processing of complex platinum-copper-nickel ores. This represents about 90% of the platinum group metals and about 7% of gold from the total production in Russia.

In addition, large predicted resources of noble metals, primarily platinum group metals, are contained in technogenic formations concentrated in the waste tailings of the mining and metallurgical production of OJSC Norilsk Mining Company. There are technogenic objects formed in the early period of exploitation of complex ores, in which the average content of platinum group metals is 2.5 g/t.

The predicted operational resources of groundwater in the Taimyr Autonomous Okrug are 284.1 thousand m3/day. In general, the district is rich in groundwater resources in the Dudinsky and Norilsk industrial regions, where 95% of the population lives; Khatanga, Ust-Yenisei and Dikson districts are not provided. The district's operational groundwater reserves amount to 236.3 thousand m3/day, of which 230.0 thousand m3/day are prepared for industrial development.

Fuel and energy resources

Coal. It is widespread throughout the district and is confined to three large coal-bearing basins: Tunguska, Taimyr, Lensky. The total resources of hard and brown coals in them are estimated at approximately 500-700 billion tons. The resources of the Tunguska basin are estimated at 280 billion tons, including coking coal - 31 billion tons.

The Taimyr coal basin is less studied. The known deposits Slobodskoye, Krestyanskoye, Syradasaiskoye, Pyasinskoye (Western Taimyr) and Chernoyarskoye (Central Taimyr) have been assessed preliminary. Permian coals of Western Taimyr are characterized by high quality characteristics. Proximity to the seaport of Dikson, high quality coal, significant reserves and resources make this area promising for the development of coking coal for export. The resources of the Taimyr coal basin are estimated at 175 billion tons, including 74 billion tons of coking coal.

The Lena brown coal basin is represented by brown, high-calorie coals suitable for gasification.

The district contains large reserves of graphite and thermoanthracite. Within the Taimyr coal basin there is a deposit of graphite and thermoanthracite.

High quality of graphites, determined by low ash content (4-6%), low volatile yield (1-3.5%), low silica content (1.7-3.3%) and high free carbon content (90-92%) , makes it possible to use them in industry as crucible and standard grades.

Forecast resources for the field as a whole are estimated at 250-300 million tons for each type of raw material. In addition, a number of occurrences of graphite and thermoanthracite of the same type with total resources of about 1000 million tons have been identified in Western Taimyr.

Oil and natural gas. On the territory of the district there is one of the richest oil and gas bearing areas (OPO) of the Krasnoyarsk Territory - the Yenisei-Khatanga Khatanga-Vilyui oil and gas province (OGP), partially - the Pur-Tazovskaya oil and gas province of the West Siberian oil and gas province and the North Tunguska oil and gas province of the Leno-Tunguska oil and gas province.

15 gas condensate, gas and gas-oil fields have been discovered within the district. The largest of them, Messoyakha, Pelyatkinskoye, Deryabinskoye, are located in the Ust-Yenisei region.

The Messoyakha field is in production. Gas is delivered via a gas pipeline through the town of Dudinka to the Norilsk industrial region. The exploitation of the field (together with Soleninsky) is carried out by the Norilskgazprom enterprise, which produces an average of 3-4 billion m3 of gas per year. In Dudinka, a condensate processing plant with a capacity of 40-46 thousand tons of fuel operates on the basis of this gas.

Two large gas condensate fields have been prepared for development - Pelyatkinskoye and Deryabinskoye.

In the northeast of the district, in the Khatanga region, on the left bank of the Khatanga Bay, small oil deposits (Nordvikskaya, Ilyinskaya and Kozhevnikovskaya) were discovered.

In the south of the Ust-Yenisei and Dudinka districts on the left bank of the river. Yenisei (110-120 km from Dudinka) is the Suzunskoye oil and gas field, also prepared for development.

Near the Suzunskoye field, seismic exploration work is underway in the highly promising Pendomayakhsky area with a resource potential of 60 million tons of conventional hydrocarbons.

On the right bank of the river. Yenisei, in its lower reaches an oil deposit was discovered at the Payakhskoye field, where prospecting work is underway to clarify its morphology and size in order to estimate oil reserves.

According to experts, it is the Taimyr Autonomous Okrug in the 21st century that can become Russia’s main reserve for increasing oil and gas reserves on a large scale, where there will gradually be a smooth transition of the main oil and gas production areas of the West Siberian oil and gas basin.

Geology. In accordance with the current legislation in the field of environmental protection, during the reporting period 19 agreements were prepared and concluded between the District Administration and water users for the use of surface water bodies.

In January-September 2004, work began in 2003 in the field of subsoil use to process large-scale satellite imagery materials, the purpose of which was to identify areas promising for hydrocarbon raw materials. Another important direction of this work is replenishing the database of multispectral space surveys for reference objects and creating their remote bases.

A comprehensive airborne geophysical survey was completed over an area of ​​10 thousand square meters. km, as a result of which the initial data were obtained for constructing structural-tectonic diagrams of the basement and thickness of Meso-Cenozoic deposits. The results of airborne geophysical work will make it possible to identify promising areas for oil and gas.

As a result of seismic exploration in the northwestern part of the Siberian platform, a large oil and gas promising structure was identified - the North Pyasinsky swell.

Work continued on a set of ground-based geological and geophysical methods to assess the oil and gas content of promising areas. A complex of geophysical and geochemical methods was carried out. For the first time in Russia, within the framework of the project, geochemical research using the GORE-SORBER method was carried out with the involvement of JSC Coordination Center ROSGEOFIZIKA (St. Petersburg) and the international corporation WL Gore & Associated Inc. (Germany).

As part of the audit and assessment work for hydrocarbon raw materials (oil) in Eastern Taimyr, an assessment of the resource potential of Eastern Taimyr for oil was carried out, a strategy for regional oil works was developed for the near future, the territory was prepared for parametric and exploratory drilling, and an assessment of economic risks during the development of the Nordvinskoye oil field .

All work was carried out with supervisory support, ensuring quality control of field materials when obtaining new data on the geological structure and oil and gas potential of the district.

Work continues on the creation of the Natural Resources geographic information system. For 9 months of 2004, databases on deposits (fuel and energy resources and solid minerals), a stratigraphic and paleontological database, as well as a database of stock literature on the geology of the district territory were created.

Trading Opportunities

On the territory of the district, hard coal is mined for the needs of enterprises and the population of the Khatanga region. The volumes of industrial and agricultural products produced are insignificant and are sold on the domestic market of the region.

Constant foreign economic activity is carried out by OJSC MMC Norilsk Nickel, whose turnover in export volumes accounts for more than 99%.

The main foreign economic activity of the joint-stock company is aimed at export, through the export of metals through the Dudinsky seaport, to foreign countries.

It is believed that the ancient territory of the Taimyr Autonomous Okrug began to be developed back in the Neolithic period. Russian servicemen and traders began to develop the Yenisei Okrug, only then did its territory become part of the Russian state. The formation of the Taimyr Autonomous Okrug occurred in 1930, at the same time entering the Krasnoyarsk Territory. In former times, Taimyr was part of the Yenisei province, and its administrative center was Irkutsk. The Taimyr Autonomous Okrug became a subject of the Russian Federation in 1992. And its rich history and cultural attractions attract people to the territory.

Geographical position

The Taimyr Autonomous Okrug is located on the Taimyr Peninsula of the same name, as well as its extreme tip - this means several Arctic islands, Cape Chelyuskin and the north of the Central Siberian Plateau. It is noteworthy that this district is the only place in Russia that is completely outside the Arctic Circle. Also, its area is the largest district on Russian territory.

The neighbors of the Taimyr Autonomous Okrug are the Republic of Sakha from the east, the Krasnoyarsk Territory from the south, the Evenki Autonomous Okrug from the south-east, as well as the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug in the western part. In addition, the Yenisei and Khatanga bays wash the northern coast of the district.

Let us note that forty percent of the land in the Krasnoyarsk Territory is occupied by the Taimyr Autonomous Okrug. To count it total area it is necessary to add up the territories of the Netherlands, France and Great Britain.

Natural resources

The Taimyr Autonomous Okrug is attractive because it is a little-studied region of the Russian Federation; in total, only three percent of its territory has been explored. Various mineral resources and minerals have been discovered in its lands. Unique volumes of coal reserves are stored in the three largest coal basins, their total weight is 92 billion tons.

In addition, it is necessary to note the most beautiful forest resources of the Taimyr Autonomous Okrug, while its most of occupied by coniferous forests, where tourists are so eager to get to. After all, here you can endlessly admire the deciduous forests of birch, spruce and Daurian larch, which are considered the northernmost on planet Earth.

Local tourism

Tourists and travelers are invited to visit three reserves in Taimyr Autonomous Okrug. The Great Arctic Nature Reserve deserves special attention, where picturesque nature allows you to get closer to the local flora and fauna. Since the transport infrastructure is being improved very well, health and tourism complexes will soon be built, which will have no analogues in the world. That is why foreign and domestic investors became so interested in the Taimyr Autonomous Okrug.

The Taimyr Biosphere Reserve is definitely worth a visit. It is noteworthy that here you can plan or book tourist routes in advance. For example, if you want to observe the Taimyr fauna, then you should go on scientific and educational tourism. However, it is worth taking into account the period of visit and the natural conditions of the year. The management of the reserve also offers sports tourism. In spring, small groups of tourists organize dog sledding excursions. Therefore, a special nursery for breeding sled dogs was created at the reserve.

During ethnographic tourism, you can see the places of residence of the nomadic peoples of the Dolgans and Nganasans, who lived in the eastern part of the Taimyr Autonomous Okrug.
