• We are aware of the major role played by petroleum in modern civilization. We can hardly live even a day without it. In Japan, in 1955, petroleum occupied only a 20% share in the first stage of energy supply. But it grew to 70% by 1970. In the meantime, the percentage of coal usage has fallen from 21% to 6.3%. The contrast is very clear. But petroleum has been imported very cheaply because of the strength of the socalled "Majors", thus the real value of petroleum was not recognized in our country prior to the "Oil Shock". The action of OPEC forced the world, especially industrially developed countries, to recognize this real value of petroleum and its producer countries. As a consequence of the "Oil Shock", the petroleum of the USSR began to attract public attention. Her petroleum supplies 50% of energy of her own country (coal supplying about 25%). But, since the "Oil Shock",the USSR has furnished not only her own country but also the world market with a growing amount of petroleum. In this article, I attempt to analyse the oil problem of the USSR which has developed out of this situation.
