Problems of Economics and Management of Oil and Gas Complex

The paper is based on the contents of the author’s report made at the II International Conference "Russia and China: towards new quality of bilateral relations" on May 31, 2016 in Moscow.

The article analyzes one of the central aspects of the current Russian-Chinese cooperation, namely, the prospects of expanding the "Eastern Siberia–Pacific Ocean" (ESPO) pipeline system, the length of which is approximately 4730 km. Two stages of the project construction are discussed. ESPO oil pipeline, being unique in its scope, will link the oil-bearing provinces of the Eastern Siberia with the Asia-Pacific Region (APR). Herewith, the project implementation is planned not at the expense of oil quantity re-orientation from the western direction but by oil production increase in the Eastern Siberia oilfields, thus providing new investment to the regions of the Far East and contributing to the economic development in the region.

Key words: Russian-Chinese cooperation; "Eastern Siberia–Pacific Ocean" oil pipeline; investment project; energy strategy.

The article presents the concept of the, information on fields cadastre and manifestations of mineral resources in the system of state cadastres of natural resources.

A number of common functions that are implemented while keeping natural resource cadastres are outlined. The standard-regulatory framework in view of conducting of mineral resources cadastre is analyzed. Formation of the basic approaches to the determination of the cadastral value of natural resources is discussed. Some specific methods for assessment under the profit approach are shown. There revealed two trends of using geological-economic evaluation of mineral resources of the deposits and subsoil areas. This article contains the analysis of the existing problems that can arise during cadastral estimation of hydrocarbon reserves. The prospects of cadastral accounting and perfection of the mechanism of conducting cadastral valuation of oil and gas fields as the most important form of registration of subsoil assets’ state and the most important mechanism in the control system of a state’s natural resources are mentioned as well.
