Every nation has its own Santa Claus: in the USA – Santa Claus, in France – Pierre Noel, in Georgia – Tovlis Babua, in Uzbekistan – Korbobo, Zyuzya – in Belarus.

And the harsh Tyumen oilmen have a snowy, frosty Santa Claus, but not a simple one, but an oil one!

Today we will go in search of him! 

Let's take the route of the discoverers of Tyumen oil, learn all about its occurrence and production, how they tried to find oil in Tyumen, but found mineral water. But the memorial sign of the first reference well is located in Tyumen. 

And, despite the fact that the first Siberian oil fountain was scored in the Khanty–Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug, and not in Tyumen, it has been Tyumen since the middle of the last century that rightfully bears the proud title of the oil capital of Russia, and recently Russians have also called it the capital of thermal waters!

At the end of the oil journey, having learned everything about oil, we will take an oath and be initiated into the oil industry and, of course, together with Santa Claus, an oilman, we will have dinner "fish soup with oil" in an oil restaurant!
