Import Replacement for Arctic Projects Implementation
Korovin G.B., Averina L.M., Zakharova L.A.
Abstract
The article is aimed at examining one of the most important social and economic task – the systemic development of the Arctic zone as regards solving the problem of dependence of the Russian oil and gas industry on foreign technologies and equipment. As the main approach, we propose anticipatory import substitution, which presupposes the orientation of import-substituting products not only to domestic but also to external markets. The author's approach to import substitution implies the creation of effective mechanisms for the development of interregional cooperation through oil and gas companies - local suppliers of products and services. As an object of study we selected industrial enterprises of the Sverdlovsk region and economic entities of natural monopolies located in the territory of the northern part of Tyumen region. Their interaction is estimated by еру authors from the position of regional marketing by highlighting the marketing outlines of this interaction. As a result of the research, the Russian market of equipment and technologies for the oil and gas sector was characterized, with its features and the latest changes in the conditions of the economic sanctions revealed. We formulate the problems, opportunities and directions of import substitution of products used by oil and gas producing enterprises in the development of the Russian Arctic using the scientific and production potential of the Sverdlovsk region enterprises. The results can be used for the development of strategic and program documents at a federal and regional level aimed at addressing the problems of Arctic development. The study showed that the policy of import substitution of industrial production for the North and the Arctic should be based on the principles of innovative growth and focus on the subsequent export orientation of products. The emphasis was on the search for new opportunities for the growth of Ural exports through the formation of new technological markets based on the introduction of new technologies.
