Perspectives of the development of the oil and gas sector of the Russian economy in the conditions of implement replacement program implementation

The article systemizes the assessments of the current state of the oil and gas sector of the Russian economy and substantiates the long-term directions of its development based on the development and implementation of innovative technologies and import substitution mechanisms at oil and gas enterprises and companies as part of the implementation of plans and programs for their strategic development. It is shown that the perspective directions of development of the oil and gas sector of the Russian economy are in many respects similar to the promising areas of strategic development of hydrocarbon production technologies in the world oil and gas sector. The introduction of sanctions restrictions became one of the determining incentives for the development of strategic plans and programs for the development of import substitution mechanisms in the oil and gas sector of the Russian economy, and their implementation allowed to optimize the process of its innovative development. Even in the short-term time period, these efforts led to the first results, indicating a gradual decrease in technological dependence of enterprises and companies in the oil and gas sector of the Russian economy from the purchase of technologies, equipment, materials and components of foreign production. In addition, the implementation of import substitution plans and programs has clearly shown that Russian specialists can independently develop innovative oil production technologies that are not inferior to their foreign counterparts in their characteristics and, thereby, contribute to retaining Russia’s leading positions in the global hydrocarbon production market.
