Location in Russia
The Kolik-Egan, (often written Kolik"yegan or Kolik'egan) is a river in the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug of Russia. It is a right-hand tributary of the westward-flowing Vakh River, which it enters from the north.
The interfluvial area between the Kolik-Egan and Sabun rivers of the west Siberian lowland is a zone of raised string bogs covering 12,885 square kilometres (4,975 sq mi). It is a status B Ramsar wetland, nominated for designation as a Wetland of International Importance in 2000.[1] The river gives its name to the Verkhae-Kolik'yegan oilfield, which has estimated ultimate recovery of 1,008 MMBO oil and of 4.2 tcf gas.[2]
