Master's thesis in Offshore technology: Marine and subsea technology Problem statement and objective Russia has one of the world’s highest mineral and raw materials potential. Current status of the oil and gas recoverable resources in Russia allows maintaining the current level of production. However, according to the Energy Strategy of Russia for the period up to 2035, the exploration and development of hydrocarbon resources in the seas of the Arctic Ocean will be of the highest priority due to unavoidable production decline. Currently, there is no comprehensive data about the Arctic, so this fact imposes certain restrictions on field development planning and conceptual studies. In particular, this is due to lack of infrastructure in the region as a whole, and especially in the areas that are not enough industrially explored such as the East Siberian Sea, which makes it hard to collect sufficient data for detailed analysis.
