| Summary: | The experience of the Prirazlomnoye project has shown a stable demand for Arctic oil of the ARCO grade. This oil is a good raw material for European refineries with a deep processing cycle. In addition, the experience of Prirazlomnoye allowed us to hone the marine logistics of oil in the Arctic region. 2D studies in the Arctic region show potential oil and gas deposits in the Barents Sea. Although the market situation does not allow us to be optimistic about Arctic offshore projects, the IEA notes that market volatility will continue within the framework of the stated policy scenario. Under this scenario, the IEA predicts an increase in the average annual cost of oil up to $ 85 / b in 2040. This is just a forecast, but on the horizon of 10-15 years, such dynamics may allow Russian majors to develop offshore projects. This work is devoted to one of the many promising license areas on the Arctic shelf. According to the results of 2D seismic, the Heisovsky license area has significant oil and gas reserves. The work aims to study the prospects and propose possible development scenarios to evaluate the necessary technologies and capital investments in the project. The solutions described in this paper are based on: • analysis of available information on natural conditions and challenges in the re-gion, • development and multi-criteria pair analysis of the best development scenarios, • analysis of available and developing technologies in the global oilfield services market, • economic assessment. • calculation of loads for similar conditions of construction of a typical well
