The article describes resources for low-gravity oil recovery and processing and for titanium production in the Ukhta region of the Komi Republic, features of the Yarega field oil and its thermal recovery, as well as the research carried out by the specialists of the Mining Institute, UB RAS, towards reduction in power consumption by production and estimation of temperature conditions in mines of Yareganeft. The domestic and international experience of air cooling in mine ventilation, as well as the possible variants of improvement of climatic conditions for occupational safety are analyzed, and the effective methods are proposed for ventilating current cooling for air temperature normalization in faces of oil mines, namely, the evaporation cooling. Variants of using potential of secondary energy resources available in mines are discussed, the technology is developed for the utilization of low-potential heat of mine wastewater using heat pumps, and the feasibility study of additional clean thermal energy production for the needs of Yareganeft mines is accomplished. By the results of exploration, activities are developed for using evaporation cooing of air in working zone and the thermal pumping technology towards reduced energy consumption in thermal oil recovery for heat supply of mines.
