City history

Noyabrsk is situated in the central part of Siberian uplands, on the divide between the Ob' and the Pur rivers, not far from lake Tetu-Mamontotyay. Thanks to advantageous geographical position, the city became 'the southern gate' of the district.

Through Noyabrsk, the trunk-railway Tyumen'-Novy Urengoy passes, as well as automobile highway connecting Noyabrsk with Khantia-Mansia and the 'continent'; there is an airport as well. Well-developed transport system makes it easy to provide the south of the region with resources necessary to sustain life in cities and townships in Purovsky region, where there is over a half of gas volumes and about 90 percent of oil extracted in the district.
