Kumzhinskoye gas field

Kumzhinskoye gas field is a physics topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Kumzhinskoye gas field rather than just read about it. In short: The Kumzhinskoye gas field is a condensate gas field in the Nenets Autonomous Okrug of Russia. It lies within the Nenets Nature Reserve, in the Pechora River delta.

Key takeaways

Kumzhinskoye gas field belongs to physics; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Kumzhinskoye gas field to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Kumzhinskoye gas field from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

The Kumzhinskoye gas field is a condensate gas field in the Nenets Autonomous Okrug of Russia. It lies within the Nenets Nature Reserve, in the Pechora River delta. A fire in an exploratory well, in November 1980, led to the use of a peaceful nuclear explosion in 1981 as an attempt to control the fire. Despite this, hydrocarbon escape occurred after the 37kt explosion, needing further relief well drilling. As of the mid-2010s, the licence to the gas field is held by CH Invest Company. The size of the field is 225km2, and is estimated to annually produce 3.2 billion cubic metres of natural gas and 170,000 tonnes a year of gas condensate.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Kumzhinskoye gas field

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Kumzhinskoye gas field claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In physics, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Kumzhinskoye gas field before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Kumzhinskoye gas field ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Kumzhinskoye gas field

In research: Kumzhinskoye gas field appears in physics research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Kumzhinskoye gas field in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Kumzhinskoye gas field is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Arkhangelsk Oblast geography stubs, Geography of Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, Natural gas field stubs, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Kumzhinskoye gas field outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
