Management Aspects in the System of Planning the Industrial Development of the Arctic Resource Potential

Subject. The current moment of civilizational development can be considered as a point of bifurcation in the context of energy supply to the needs of the social and economic sector. Energy efficiency and energy security issues related to the use of both renewable and non-renewable sources of energy (hydrocarbon energy carriers, including those located in non-convective deposits) are acute. To the foregoing, the subject of research in this work is the management relations arising in the process of improving the planning system for industrial development of the resource and raw potential of the Arctic region.

Purpose. To investigate management aspects in the planning system of industrial development of the resource potential of the Arctic, to propose a methodology for assessing the prospects for the extraction of energy carriers.

Methodology. The authors used the extended analytical and prognostic toolkit, which allowed to substantively evaluate the theoretical, methodological and applied aspects of the production of hydrocarbon energy carriers from non-traditional deposits.

Results. The need for the development and implementation of modern management aspects in the planning system for industrial development of the resource potential of the Arctic based on the use of digital technologies is substantiated, as they are a platform for properly providing solutions not only to defense and economic tasks, but also a number of significant social tasks. The authors proposed a methodology for assessing the prospects for the extraction of energy carriers on the Arctic shelf, which includes the study of three key parameters (reserves and their physical availability, manufacturability and environmental friendliness of production).

Conclusions. The authors come to the conclusion that the prospects for the extraction of energy carriers in the Arctic can not be recognized at the present time to be sufficiently high; this requires the activation of interaction between science, society, business and the state, which will create the necessary technical and technological base for industrial development of Arctic deposits. In the future, the authors propose the development of specific solutions for methods of financing Arctic projects.
