The main trends in the development of the arctic shelf by Russian energy companies

Many minerals of our planet belong to non-renewable resources that cannot be restored either naturally or artificially. Of course, they are regularly formed underground as a result of the vital activity of organisms, however, millennia must pass for the formation of oil and gas. In this regard, there is a need to explore new territories, so the exploration and production of hydrocarbons is gradually moving from the mainland to the shelf. The Arctic zone of Russia has been one of the world's largest hydrocarbon production regions for a long period of time, so it is necessary to understand the relevance of this region for Russia.
