Social Gasification Helps Overcome Difficult Times in the Country's Fuel and Energy Complex

The material of the proposed article seems to the authors to be extremely relevant in connection with the 12 packages adopted by the Western community against Russia, containing more than 17 thousand of all kinds of sanctions and restrictions, including in relation to the export of hydrocarbons. This circumstance has put the domestic economy in an extremely difficult situation, especially in the context of the restoration of the country's national economy. Reorientation of the oil and gas industry to the East, to the countries of Greater Eurasia, year-round transport and industrial development of the Northern Sea Route and the Arctic zone of Russia will not only overcome the problems and difficulties that have arisen, but also strengthen political and economic ties with the states of the Silk Road and the Organization of the Collective Security Treaty (CSTO). The purpose of the study is a comprehensive economic assessment of the implementation of state regional development programs based on the use of hydrocarbon raw materials, including the social gasification/additional gasification program in the constituent entities of the Federation, to which the President paid special attention in his Address to the Federal Assembly 2024. A separate task is to forecast industrial production based on processing of hydrocarbon raw materials at various stages of technological conversion into lines of consumer goods and into products intended for export. The research results obtained so far by the authors of the article boil down to a review of information sources on the identified problems, an analysis of individual issues of the dynamics of production, export supplies, transportation and pricing of domestic hydrocarbon raw materials,and to determining the success of the implementation of the gasification program in individual regions of the Federation. The conceptual approaches involved were discussed. The article concludes with three conclusions.
