Razmanova S.V., Nesterova O.V.
The Arctic shelf has great potential for the development of the domestic oil and gas industry in the medium and long term. In the last decade, increased attention to the Arctic region strengthens its importance, both for the national interests of the Russian Federation and for the world community as a whole, which indicates the relevance of this issue. Meanwhile, the search, exploration and exploitation of new hydrocarbon deposits in the Arctic region is accompanied by a wide range of risks. For all its resource attractiveness, the Arctic is characterized by rather harsh natural conditions that require truly "space" technologies for their extraction. Therefore, solving the problem of technological development of the Arctic shelf will significantly affect the development of technologies in related industries. The purpose of the article is to identify and describe the key problems that hinder the development of offshore hydrocarbon fields in the Arctic. The object of the research is the Arctic projects for the development of oil and gas resources and reserves. The subject of the study is the potential for the transition of the Russian Federation to the stage of active development of hydrocarbon deposits on the Arctic shelf. In the course of the research, we used general scientific research methods (comparison, generalization), methods of logical-theoretical analysis, methods of system analysis. The article highlights a number of problematic aspects of the development of Russian Arctic gas, condensate and oil fields, provides their indicators and characteristics. The paper concludes that the development of hydrocarbon deposits on the Arctic shelf is possible only if all possible risks and impacts are assessed. As a direction for further research, the authors plan to study and analyze the environmental risks associated with the development of Arctic deposits.
