Given Russia's position as the holder of the largest reserves of petroleum and its status as the largest exporter of natural gas, it is natural that there are materials depicting various facets of the Russian oil and natural gas industry, such as reserves, exploration, distribution, and export. Cataloged maps and atlases regarding the Russian oil and natural gas industry, as well as pipelines and leases, can be identified on the Library of Congress online catalog via a variety of search terms, such as "Petroleum pipelines Russia Federation maps," or "Oil and gas leases former Soviet republics maps," or "Oil fields Russia Federation maps," or "Pipelines former Soviet republics maps," or "Gas fields Russia Federation Sakhalin Region maps," or "Natural gas former Soviet republics maps," and so forth. Uncataloged materials are described below.
The division holds seventeen uncataloged maps illustrating oil and gas reserves in Russia and the former Soviet Union for the period 1900 to 1964. One is described below.
There are three uncataloged maps depicting oil and gas reserves in European Russia, and all are dated 1963.
There are two uncataloged maps depicting oil and gas reserves in the Caucasus for the years 1900 and 1942. One of them is described below. There are also four uncataloged maps of oil and gas reserves in Azerbaijan from the early twentieth century, 1933, and 1942. Those four, as well as two cataloged items, are described below. Additional maps depicting oil and gas reserves in Azerbaijan are described under the category of oil and gas set maps.
