Perspective Approaches of Stranded Gas Fields Monetization in the Russian Arctic

Abstract The future growth and development potential of the Russian oil and gas industry is concentrated in the Arctic. Most of Russia’s gas reserves - about 70% [1] - are in the Arctic regions of the Russian Federation - the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous District and the Krasnoyarsk Territory. One of th...

Description
Summary:Abstract The future growth and development potential of the Russian oil and gas industry is concentrated in the Arctic. Most of Russia’s gas reserves - about 70% [1] - are in the Arctic regions of the Russian Federation - the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous District and the Krasnoyarsk Territory. One of the key issues in the monetization of gas is the logistics problem of delivering gas from the field to a consumer with high profitability. The work identified three key areas of natural gas delivery: pipeline transport, LNG production and Gas-to-liquids (GTL) technology. The paper is provided analysis of these methods of developing gas fields. As a result, recommendations for the use of each of them is evaluated.
