The fuel and energy complex is a basis of economic development of Russia for long time. The most part of tax revenues in the state budget is made with taxes from sale of oil and gas, so the government is interested in perfection of this system. Nowadays In Russia the state policy in sphere subsurface resources management is focused on increase of efficiency of use of a mineral raw-material base, maintenance of its reproduction, rational and safe wildlife management. Volumes of financing of prospecting works have increased in times. In given clause the reached results and problems which are necessary for solving are stated, and ways of the decision are offered.
The fuel and energy complex has always been in the forefront of the national economy of the Russian Federation. And its problems are especially critical in current conditions when the concept to transform Russia into "an energy superpower" has been announced. It is not a secret, that the condition of the Russian fuel and energy complex is rather grave. Russia concludes more and more contracts for export deliveries in Western European countries and this particularly concerns oil and gas. Domestic consumption is also growing and there exists certain deficiency of some kinds of fuel and energy raw materials. Also there is a problem that incremental reserves of these raw materials fails to cover the growing volumes of their extraction. All of this occurs in the background of outdated technical facilities characterized by a very high degree of the physical asset deterioration. To tackle this situation it is required to develop nonconventional sources of energy, wide introduction of innovations and first of all large scale investment.
