DEVELOPMENT PROSPECTS OF THE HYDROCARBON RESOURCE BASE OF THE ARCTIC PART OF THE SIBERIAN PLA TFORM ALONG THE NORTHERN SEA ROUTE
President of Russia V.V. in his speech in the city of Tobolsk on December 1 last year, noted the importance of developing the domestic market in order to create the necessary capacities of the oil and sas processins and petrochemical sectors of the economy for the complete processing of extracted hydrocarbon raw materials and the production of high value-added products with their subsequent export to the world market. In this regard, the importance of developing the hydrocarbon resource base of the Arctic part of the Siberian Platform along the Northern Sea Route is growing. At present, the Siberian platform is the third region of Russia after Western Siberia and the Ural-Volga region with a large concentration of oil and gas resources on the Arctic shelf and on land. The Arctic part of the Siberian Platform is characterized by a large concentration of unexplored oil and gas resources on land and the adjacent shelf of the marginal seas of the Arctic Ocean. Digital modernization of the oil and gas complex in the Arctic zones will ensure environmental friendliness, safety and high efficiency in the production of products with high added value, neutralize the influence of the human factor on the reliability of oil and gas production systems and, in the future, switch to accident-free operation. It is necessary to take urgent measures to accelerate the digital modernization of the oil and gas industry in order to develop the domestic market for the production ofproducts with high added value in the context of high volatility in the global hydrocarbon market, reducing the hydrocarbon footprint and sanctions pressure.
