Working session

Creation of equipment and technologies for the development of the Arctic shelf

Project*

 


The development of the Arctic shelf and its coastline is strategically important for the development of Russia and involves the elaboration, introduction of modern means and technologies for extraction of mineral resources. Considering that according to various estimates the import share in geological exploration reaches 85% and in the implementation of shelf projects is up to 90%, this is a serious challenge for domestic industrial and oil and gas engineering.

During the session it is planned to discuss the needs of companies, large-scale projects in Russian equipment and services in the field of geological prospecting, geophysical operations and mining on the Arctic shelf, as well as the possibility of reducing dependence on imports of foreign technologies. In addition, the discussants will discuss the creation of favorable conditions for the development of innovative technologies needed for the development of the continental shelf in the Arctic (for example, the admission of private companies to the shelf).

Issues for discussion:

  • Status and prospects of work on the Russian Arctic Shelf
  • Technology and techniques for geological exploration on the Arctic shelf of the Russian Federation
  • Features of construction and operation of ships and marine equipment for the development of the continental shelf in the Arctic
  • Underwater extraction of mineral resources in Arctic waters
  • Creation of conditions for the development of innovative technologies for the development of the Arctic shelf
