Reproduction оf the mineral resource base оf the energy sector аs оne оf the main aspects оf Russia’s energy security ensuring

The article characterizes the situation with the production and consumption of primary fuel and energy resources in Russia for the period 2021–2023. The main emerging trends are shown and the main threats to energy security are characterized, including the threat of deterioration in the quality of reserves of the mineral resource base of the fuel and energy complex. The main objects of indicative analysis declared in the Doctrine of Energy Security of the Russian Federation are shown, among which an important place is occupied by the object “Ratio of the increase in balance reserves of primary fuel and energy resources to the volumes of their production”. Based on data on the dynamics of reproduction of reserves of natural gas, oil, coal and uranium for the upcoming five-year period, the values of the most important indicators of this object are determined and an idea of the final qualitative assessment of the situation for the entire object of analysis is formed. The article analyzes the main reasons and draws conclusions about the emerging trends in the renewal of industrially extractable reserves of the main primary fuel and energy resources and the possible consequences of a worsening situation.
