Abstract: If consider promising tendencies in the policy of Russian oil and gas industry the most important factor of its further development is industrial exploitation of continental shelf hydrocarbon resources, where several dozens of large deposits and even provinces are predicted. As a result of 20-25 year long period of oil and gas exploration work carried out by the geological survey and fuel-energy departments on the shelf the total oil-gas potential reserve of the Russian shelf is estimated exceeding 100 billion tons (85 % of the resources belongs to the interiors of the Arctic seas and 14 % - to the seas of the Far East). It is planned by the federal programme of the Russian Federation source of raw materials development to mine 25 − 28 million tons of oil and 30 − 35 billion cubic meters of gas in 2006 − 2007 and in 2020 – 65-70 million tons and 135 − 140 billion cubic meters correspondingly (Alekseev Y. N. et al, 2001).
