ENERGY-EFFICIENT TECHNOLOGIES AS A PRIORITY OF INNOVATIVE DEEVELOPMENT OF OIL AND GAS COMPLEX

Abstract

Objective: to define the role of oil and gas companies in the innovative development of Russia, to ground the development of energy-efficient technologies as a priority of innovative development of oil and gas complex. Methods: abstract-logical method and a complex of economical-statistical analytical methods. Results: basing on the analysis, the features and modern trends of innovative development of oil and gas complex in Russia are defined. Nowadays the functioning of oil and gas sector is deprived of the aims and priorities of the country’s economic development, which is the main “strategic threat”. The necessity is grounded to form the energy companies of international level, able to master and create the modern technologies which will result in speeding up of the innovative processes in the country and provide the stable long-term development of the oil and gas complex. Scientific novelty: features of the oil and gas complex innovative development are systematized, its role is defined in the country’s transition to innovative development. The priority of the oil and gas complex innovative development are elaboration and implementation of energy-efficient technologies, enabling to obtain effects at micro-, meso- and macrolevels, as well as to strengthen the Russia’s position at the strategically important market of eco-innovations. Practical value: the obtained results can be used to increase the efficiency of interaction between authorities, business, universities and other participants of innovative eco-system in the direction of forming the dynamic balance of innovative and raw-material production complexes.
