Concession forms of state property management in the sphere of subsoil use - a prospect for the development of resource industries in Russia
- Authors:
- S. A. Tertyshnyi
Radical changes in economic conditions in Russia have led to the need to attract large investments in long-term projects for the development of new fields. This should have been facilitated by the law "On Production Sharing Agreements". However, the mechanism proposed in the law did not ensure a balance between the interests of the state (the owner of subsoil resources) and investors in the implementation of capital-intensive projects in the sphere of subsoil use. A positive contribution to the formation of a truly effective mechanism of subsoil use could be made by the development and adoption of legislation on concessions. This would allow not only to attract investors, but also to ensure the development of regional economies on the basis of new technologies.

- Authors:
- V. V. Smykov
It is shown that the usual tax mechanism based on the use of a universal tax rate is unacceptable for the oil and gas chemical complex. It is proposed to distinguish between the rent received due to high prices for export raw materials and the rent associated with the high quality of natural resources. The former should be withdrawn with the help of floating customs duties, the latter - on the basis of a stable tax rate, which should be differentiated on a legislative basis depending on the quality of deposits.

Rates of regular payments for subsoil use on the Russian shelf and their calculation using geoinformation technologies
- Authors:
- N. Yu. Banolessi
- N. B. Shtykova
The current geological exploration works in the internal sea waters, territorial sea and on the continental shelf of Russia by investors of various forms of ownership are not provided to the necessary extent by the regulatory and legal framework that allows to establish the amount of payments for the right of prospecting, evaluation and exploration of mineral deposits. The essence of the proposed methodology for calculating the payment for subsoil use on the shelf is to assess the ranking potential of a particular object according to a group of rank-forming factors: general, geological, physical-geographical, economic-geographical, environmental. All developments are based on the level of profitability, which determines the efficiency of any project realization. Justification and consideration of the above conditions when determining the rates of payments for subsoil use will be realized in the information-analytical system (IAS) "Register of shelf zones of the Russian Federation". The Register will meet the current level of geological knowledge, allow mobile and flexible input of new clarifying data, carry out necessary calculations and analytical actions. The registry will be closed from unauthorized access and simple enough for a potential user.

- Authors:
- A. E. Cherepovitsyn
The Unified Gas Supply System of Russia (UGSS) is a fundamental element of the national economy, whose reliable and efficient functioning directly affects its normal operation and the livelihood of all Russian citizens. Russia annually consumes 410 billion m 3 of gas, i.e. more than 70% of the total volume of gas produced in the country. The gas industry accounts for 8 % of the GDP structure, provides a significant part of the budget revenues, as well as more than 19 % of the state's foreign currency earnings from gas exports. The gas market in Russia, with a sufficient resource base and unique technological infrastructure, is characterized by a number of disproportions that may become a factor limiting the development of all participants of the gas market in the future. The principles of the system approach to the UGSS research are considered. A brief overview of the current state of all industries operating within the UGSS is presented. The main conditions and directions of reforming the gas market are specified. Problems facing the gas industry are formulated and the main strategic directions of the UGSS sustainable development in the current conditions are outlined.

- Authors:
- N. Ya. Lobanov
Improving the efficiency of production in the mining industry is possible on the basis of improvement and development of the economic mechanism of rational use of mineral resources. One of the main objects of research in this case is the tax system, which is explained by its key importance for the effective process of developing the potential of mineral resources. The most important direction of improving the tax system in the mining industry is the transition to the rent principle of taxation, which makes it possible to link the taxes transferred by mining enterprises to the budget with the economic efficiency of mining production. Recommendations on improving the tax system for the Russian coal industry enterprises have been developed. They were used for the economic evaluation of the project of development and technical re-equipment of mines of Vorkuta industrial region for the period up to 2015.

Problem of environmental-economic assessment of efficiency of rational use of mineral raw materials in market conditions
- Authors:
- A. Yu. Tsvetkova
The most important direction of increasing the economic efficiency of mining and processing production and improving the quality of the natural environment is the integrated use of mineral raw materials, overburden and production waste. Assessment of ecological and economic efficiency of integrated use of iron ore deposits should be carried out by means of the developed system of ecological and economic indicators characterizing national economic and self-financing efficiency of production. When assessing the economic efficiency of investments in the integrated use of mineral raw materials and environmental protection, it is necessary to take into account the value of mineral resources, the characteristics of mining enterprises and the current level of development of market relations in the country.

Justification of expediency of production of separate valuable components at complex processing of mineral raw materials
- Authors:
- F. D. Larichkin
- A. P. Larichkin
The problems of assessing the economic efficiency of production of each of the valuable components of mineral raw materials at its complex processing are considered. The disadvantages of the traditional approach based on the condition of recoupment of the full cost of the evaluated component (the sum of direct and the corresponding part of indirect costs) are revealed. The estimation methodology is proposed, which provides compensation of only direct costs for any valuable component separately and payback of the sum of direct and indirect costs of extraction and multi-product processing of raw materials.

Probabilistic assessment of the impact of geological risks on the economic efficiency of oil and gas investment projects
When determining the economic efficiency of oil and gas investment projects, the assessment of risk and reliability of decisions taken in the preparation of the mineral resource base is of great importance. Such an assessment can be obtained on the basis of a geological and mathematical model of probabilistic growth of oil and gas reserves, which is based on the composition of two distributions describing the regularities of field discovery (binomial) and obtaining a given increase in reserves (exponential, truncated Pareto distribution, b-distribution, etc.). The essence of the proposed approach is to establish quantitative correlations between reserve increments and volumes of prospecting and appraisal works with different confidence levels and to build, based on these levels, the field of geological risks.

Environmental component of real estate investments
- Authors:
- O. M. Lenkovets
Russian investors working in the real estate market, for the most part, remember only the immediate profit. And they do not pay attention to the environmental impact of the built object or, on the contrary, do not think whether the object is necessary in a given location and how it will affect the environment. Objects are located inconsiderately, use low-quality materials that do not meet the requirements. But it is the state that should be interested in environmental protection, and should create such conditions that investments in real estate take into account the environmental component, especially since the federal program, along with other priorities of state investment, defines the provision of environmental protection measures as well.
