Government and Business

The state plays a special role in the development of the oil industry:
- direct participation in the oil business;
- investments in infrastructure;
- exploration and research works;
- various forms of legislative and regulatory impact on the industry.
Over the past few years, a tendency to strengthen the role of the state in oil and gas industry has been clearly defined. In the gas sector, for example, this is a state monopoly on gas exports. In the oil industry there is an increase in state assets.
Without a partnership between government and business, it is impossible to achieve the goals set by the Energy Strategy of Russia and to optimize the oil and gas industry structure. A public-private partnership model should be the matrix for such optimization.
