Actual Problems of the Gas Industry at the Current Stage

Today, the Russian Federation has a leading position in the world in terms of gas reserves and gas production, is one of the largest suppliers to the world market of energy resources. The authors analyzed the domestic gas industry as a component of the global energy market. Recently there has been increased competition due to the commercial development of new types of energy in the global energy market, which results in the structure change and reduction in exports for the domestic gas industry. However, the share of Russian reserves of hydrocarbons, which are located in remote areas with poor infrastructure, away from the end user, as well as low-rate reserves, increases every year. The solution to these problems is to increase energy efficiency and the production of marketable products, their processing with high added value.
