An American expert on the energy and chemical industry of the former USSR and a Russian specialist and economic advisor to the government of Tyumen' Oblast survey current problems in hydrocarbon processing (e.g., the petrochemical industry) in the former USSR's most important oil and gas producing region. The paper also traces the evolution of the hydrocarbon processing industry through three stages of its development, identifies major factors influencing that development, and examines changes that will be affecting the way that it functions in the future. 4 tables, 19 references.
