About this place
Surgut is the largest city in Khanty-Mansia and a major hub for Russia's oil-extraction industry. With about 300,000 residents, it stands out for its growing population in a region where many cities are smaller.
Located on the right bank of the Ob River in northern Western Siberia, Surgut lies 250 km east of Khanty-Mansiysk and 708 km northeast of Tyumen. The city's identity is shaped by its industrial importance and its position deep in the Extreme North.
