Russia appreciates the prospect of developing the Arctic shelf

2
The assessment given by the Deputy Minister of Energy, Pavel Sorokin, to the prospects for oil production on the Arctic shelf, explains why the West is on the verge of hysteria from the pace Russia is developing in the northern region.



As follows from the statement of the Russian official made on the fields of the Russian Energy Week, the development of deposits on the shelf of the Arctic can be profitable even at the current price of oil.

Sorokin said that it cannot be said that production will be profitable in all offshore fields, but now there are already a large number of fields located in the coastal zone of the Okhotsk and Kara Sea, as well as in the Yamal water area, which will be profitable in the current macroeconomic conditions.

Recall that earlier, the head of Rosneft, Igor Sechin, announced plans to create an Arctic cluster of fields, which from 2027 will be able to produce up to 100 million tons of oil per year.

It should be noted that the Arctic shelf is not only rich in oil deposits. According to reports, the subsoil in this region conceals unique reserves of copper-nickel ores, tin, platinoids, agrochemical ores, rare metals and rare earths, large reserves of gold, diamonds, tungsten, mercury, ferrous metals, optical raw materials and gemstones.

    To summarize: the development was recognized as cost-effective, and for the construction of infrastructure for the extraction of "national wealth" - from the people another + 2% to VAT, up to the value recommended by the IMF. And then we will place the proceeds from the sale in "high-quality foreign assets." And we will cancel the pension - there is no money, the reason is objective - the echo of the war. And about Gerhard Fritz Schroeder, the chairman of the board of directors of NK Rosneft, is silent, otherwise the culprit of the war will be remembered. However, Stalin, of course, is to blame for everything - it was he who hatched aggressive plans for an attack on Germany, which is why the Fritzes were forced to attack us - in order to ward off the threat. And this must be treated with understanding - history is such, Mannerheim is worthy of a commemorative plaque, and Stenka Razin is subject to decommunization, and the museum to Yeltsin must be financed over the centuries, because it was he who gave us freedom from monstrous, bloody totalitarianism.

    More gas in the Arctic is full. And half of the Arctic is ours.
