Lukashenko urges Belarusian geologists to keep surveying for oil
Geologist Mikhail Gromyko is considered to be the founder of Belarusian oil exploration. Back in 1930, together with Belarusian geographer Nikolai Arbuzkin, he began to search for oil in Rechitsa District. To find possible deposits, scientists drew up a plan for prospecting work and developed a special questionnaire for local residents.
