Muslimov MODERNIZATION OF THE RUSSIAN OIL INDUSTRY ON THE WAY FOR INNOVATIONS AND GLOBAL TRENDS R.Kh. <...> The main task of the new Russian energy strategy until 2035 is formulated succinctly and accurately – the transition from resource-based to resource-innovative development of the oil industry. <...> However, it does not have sufficient geological and economic assessment of proven and promising resources, and most importantly – there are no mechanisms for the implementation of tasks. <...> Powerful technical progress of the West in the exploration and development of unconventional hydrocarbon deposits has a great influence on the efficiency of conventional oil and gas deposits. <...> It becomes possible to make the transition from the balance to the geological reserves and from the concept of absolute pore space to the effective pore space in matters of reserves calculation and development design. <...> US example on the stabilization and further significant increase in oil and gas production after a long period of its fall allows us to rethink these achievements for solving problems of the Russian Federation concerning a significant increase in the efficiency of hydrocarbon resources. <...> All this should be applied taking into account the specific geological structure of deposits in Russia and the history of their development. <...> At the same time in the oil industry the solution is required for fundamental problems: calculation of reserves, justifying oil recovery, building fundamentally new geological and technological models of deposits, innovative design of development systems, justifying the rationality criteria and principles of the rational development of fields. <...> Keywords: subsoil use, government support of subsoil users, reserves and resources of hydrocarbons, oil difficult to recover, non-conventional oil reserves, oil recovery factor, enhanced oil recovery methods, tax incentives, fundamental problems DOI: 10.18599/grs.18.4.1 For citation: Muslimov R.Kh. <...> DOI: 10.18599/ grs.18.4.1 The peculiarity of the present development stage of the oil industry in the Russian Federation and the Republic of Tatarstan is that up to now science has dealt mainly with problems of active involvement into development of deposits with reserves difficult to recover. <...> Powerful technical progress in the Western countries for the development of non-conventional hydrocarbons, heavy oil and natural bitumen in Canada, the USA, Venezuela, oil and gas shale revolution, research on other types have fundamentally changed the situation in the oil and gas sector and the global environment. <...> Let <...>
