Powerful development of oil production began in1865. Adeep drilling by steam engines was started in 1881. 50 oil wells were drilled in 1881, about 300 - in 1885. Oil transportation to the refiners since 1886 was carried out by three railways (32 km). One of the largest oil processing plants in Austria-Hungary was established in Pechenizhyn. 9870 tons of oil were produced in Sloboda Rungurska in 1893.</p><p>The Bytkiv-Pasichna deposit was the most powerful in the valley of Bystrytsia Nadvirnianska, where drilling began in 1886-1888. The first operating wells were drilled in 1897 (30 tons/day). Until 1913 26 oil wells were operated on the field (36,7 thousand tons of oil annually). 18,11 thousand tons of oil were produced in Bytkiv in 1918; 42 thousand tons - in 1925; 214 thousand tons - in 1937. 1927 began regular gas production, which increased in 1937 to 36 million m3.1902 inNadvirna was established the oil processing plant, which processed oil from Pasichna, Bytkiv and Kosmach (1920-1930 - 500 tons; 1938 - 12 thousand tons).</p><p>As of 1929 38 oil and gas mines functionated in the Hutsul region. Until 1938 850 thousand tons of oil were produced in Bytkiv for the entire period of field operation, 358 thousand tons - in Sloboda Rungurska, 26 thousand tons - in Kosmach. 1,5-3 thousand m3/day of natural gas were produced 1932-1934 inChornyj Potik; 25-50 thousand m3/day - in Kosiv.</p><p>There are three periods in the history of oil processing in the Hutsul region: the first period (XVI century - 1860) - establishing of oil production; the second period (1860-1884) - transition from primitive to high-tech methods of production, establishing oil processing plants; the third period (1884-1939) - industrialization of extraction process, concentration of production.</p>}, number={5(125)}, journal={Skhid}, author={Klapchuk, Volodymyr}, year={2013}, month={Nov.} }
