Russian Arctic Offshore Oil and Gas Projects: Methodological Framework for Evaluating Their Prospects
Abstract Russia is one of the key players in the Arctic due to its significant hydrocarbon resources, and the relevance of developing its Arctic offshore deposits is obvious. However, the presence of considerable reserves of oil and gas on the Russian Arctic shelf does not guarantee the success of p...

Abstract Russia is one of the key players in the Arctic due to its significant hydrocarbon resources, and the relevance of developing its Arctic offshore deposits is obvious.

This influence has now intensified with the current problematic macroeconomic situation in Russia, particularly in the energy sector. Furthermore, the current international political scene has a direct impact on Russia’s activities in the field of offshore projects.
