The Russian economy is openly exporting raw materials and to a large extent imports goods of the manufacturing industry. In the gas complex of the country, which is a part of the national fuel and energy complex, as Russia ssia enters the globalization processes, both new threats to its stable development and new opportunities for economic growth arise. The country needs to form a unified state policy in the field of mineral development, which should be based on global principles and take into account the peculiarities of the Russian economy. We propose measures of state regulation in the mining industry, capable of stimulating investment activity of the gas industry.
Global energy trends mean that the mere possession of raw materials no longer guarantees profits. The decisive factor in the competitiveness of companies becomes access directly to the end market, which requires mastering a new concept of vertical integration that differs from traditional approaches.
Improvement of competitiveness of fuel and energy complex companies should be provided through the implementation of a system of organizational and technological measures that contribute to building a new economic model of relations between the state, producers and consumers of energy resources. A well-considered state resource-energy-saving policy is not only a source of resources for the development of the country's economy, but also simultaneously a means of encouraging organizational and technological renewal of production.
