The modern oil market is characterized by instability and high competition. Depletion of oil fields, depreciation of equipment for oil production, price instability and political conflicts have a negative impact on the position of Russia at the global energy market. At the same time, the world entered an era of a new technological revolution that did not pass by the oil industry. In particular, the concept of digital production is spreading and implementing. The aim of the work is to study the place and role of the Russian Federation in the world oil market and the possibilities of using digital technologies in this sector of the world economy. The information base for the analytical study were statistical data from official sources: the Centre for Macroeconomic Analysis and Short-term Forecasting (CMASF), the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia, Ru-Stat, the Analytical Centre for the Government of the Russian Federation. Significant statistical and analytical information has been received from the strategic reports on Gazprom Neft and the LUKOIL oil companies. Along with discussion of the state and significant changes in the oil production and refining market at the present stage, the study analyzes the potential and real mechanisms of digitalization of the industry in Russia in order to reduce transaction costs. Thus, to achieve the goals of the Rosneft-2022 strategy, the company has signed an agreement with General Electric on the creation of a joint venture focused on the introduction of modern digital technologies and new industrial Internet standards. Gazprom Neft implements a strategy on the digital products development named «Electronic development of assets» («ERA»), designed to ensure the operational management of key production stages. «ERA» is among main instruments of complex and widespread digitalization of business at all levels of estimating field costs, production and management. The concept of an intellectual field (LIFE-Field), implemented in the oil company «LUKOIL», is to integrate the field management processes based on automated computer systems and high-tech data collection systems.A key component of the digital production concept is the use of certain software that allows all employees of the oil sector to carry out their activities more quickly and efficiently, while reducing industry operating costs.

Currently, the export of educational services is a global business, which is aimed at making a profit and opportunities to expand cultural and economic ties between countries through the implementation of educational services to “consumers” of the educational services market.

Relevance. The market for agricultural products and its production itself continues to be one of the most important indicators of the country's food security, the protection of citizens and the export item that always consistently brings income to any state.The purpose is to consider the dynamics of achieving the main targets for crop production in the Russian Federation and to identify the nature of the problems associated with the under-fulfillment of some indicators.Objectives: to study the indicators of export/import of agricultural products in accordance with the indicators of domestic consumption and sown areas; correlate the country's agricultural development indicators for 2021 with the indicators of the Food Security Doctrine; identify problems and ways to solve the further development of crop production in the Russian Federation.Methodology. The study used data from FAOSTAT, a database administered by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), and used online databases from domestic databases from Rosstat, Rosreestr, and the Federal Customs Service of Russia.Results. The commodity structure of exports / imports of the Russian Federation for crop products for 2021, the dynamics of expansion and the structure of sown areas of agricultural crops are analyzed; presented withthe knowledge of achieving the planned values of indicators  for 2021. It is proved that Russia has achieved food security values in almost all key areas: grain, vegetable oil, sugar, etc.Conclusions. Thus, the results obtained showed that there are still a number of unresolved problems, including investment in domestic agricultural science and their effectiveness, a reduction in the personnel potential of the innovative activity of the Russian agro-industrial complex, inefficiency of communications between key stakeholders, resource provision of the agro-industrial complex.

The most powerful Russian NFG (national financial group) (Lukoil, Tatneft, Sibur Holding), transnational companies (TNCs) (Gazprom, Rosneft) and small oil companies (SOCs) (Sibir Energy PLC, West Siberian Resources) operate in the oil and gas complex. The oil and gas complex traditionally acts as a guarantor of the country’s energy security. The new economic conditions in 2021 are associated with a decrease in demand for oil and products from it, high dependence on imports, and the suspension of wells to complete a deal under OPEC ++, which will lead to a market drop by 3-10%. The purpose of the paper is to conduct a comparative analysis of Russian NFG, TNCs and SOCs in the regional and global oil and gas markets. The initial materials used to conduct the research were statistical data from the Center for Macroeconomic Analysis and Short-Term Forecasting, the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation, the Analytical Center under the Government of the Russian Federation and world rating reports. The pandemic and self-isolation of 2020 have led to a decrease in the intensity of global supply chains, affecting Russian NFGs, TNCs and SOCs in the oil and gas sector. The Russian oil and gas sector has lost 50-60% of its proceeds from the export of hydrocarbons, which is more than 50% of its capitalization. To support the industry, the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation will have allocated RUB 35 billion by 2024. Today, Russian NFGs, TNCs and SOCs operate in conditions of a negative damper, contraction of the domestic market, reduction of crack spreads and restrictions on production growth. Therefore, the following is relevant for them: for NFGs - search for new sales markets (for example, Asia), for TNCs - the use of innovative technologies to maintain the profitability of oil and gas production, for SOCs - development of small deposits and deposits with hard-to-recover reserves. For TNC net importers of oil from the European Union, Japan, and Korea, the electromobilization process is a potential source of economic growth. European majors, such as BP, Equinor, Shell and Total, have set decarbonization goals, transforming from oil and gas to diversified energy companies.
