With a hydrocarbons landscape consisting mostly of ageing oil and gasfields, Russia is funnelling its efforts into further development of brownfields and the exploration of unconventional greenfields that were previously not viable. With the world’s second-largest natural gas reserves – estimated at 35 tcm (1,235 tcf) – Russia is also the second-largest producer of dry natural gas, with an output of 635.6 bcm (22.4 bcf) in 2017.

This has provided a market for companies from abroad to meet Russia’s evolving technological demands.
