Abstract
The article discusses the growth in the volumes of oil and gas production and transportation in the western regions of the Russian Arctic in the next few decades due to the presence of unique resources located there. The assessment of the possible development of these regions shows great prospects for the oil and gas sector under the conditions of expansion and modernization of their existing transportation systems, as well as favorable market conditions.
