ANALYSIS OF THE STRUCTURE OF THE GAS MARKET AND THE TECHNICAL BASE OF THE RUSSIAN GAS INDUSTRY

Abstract

The oil and gas complex is one of the fundamental elements of the Russian economy. To accelerate the transition of the Russian economy to an innovative type of development, the gas industry must perform tasks such as exporting not only energy resources, but also Russian technologies, equipment and services of the industry, digitalization and intellectualization of the gas industry, optimization of the spatial infrastructure of the industry, as well as reducing the negative impact of gas industry enterprises on the environment. The basis for identifying problems and prospects for the development of the Russian gas industry is the analysis of the structure of the gas market and the technical base of the gas industry. The analysis of the technical base of the gas industry, the production infrastructure of gas extraction, processing and transportation allowed us to identify the features of the production process in the gas industry, the main of which are related to the continuity of the technological process, significant dispersion of production facilities and technological equipment, the remoteness of the transported products from the contractor, fire and explosion hazard of production processes, which confirms the need for state regulation, control and support of the gas industry to achieve strategic goals of innovative development.
