Abstract
The gas industry is one of the largest industries in Russia, along with oil production and refining. In terms of production and export of natural gas, our country ranks second (after the United States) and third (after the United States and Qatar) in the world, respectively. In 2010–2023, the share of production decreased in the old regions (Nadym-Pur-Tazovsky and Volga-Uralsky) and increased in the new ones (Yamal-Gydan and the shelf of the Caspian Sea). Production has significantly increased on the Yamal and Gydan peninsulas, which is associated with the commissioning of large deposits of Utrennoye, Yuzhno-Tambeysky and Bovanenkovsky. The article presents a brief history of the development of the gas industry in Russia. The influence of this sector on the economy of our country through budget and foreign exchange revenues is emphasized. The forecast of the development of production and export of natural gas is made, alternative points of view are given.
