“…Thus, in 2008 the government adopted the Fundamentals of the Russian Federation State Policy on the Arctic until 2020' [30], signalling the new stage in the Russian Arctic resource governance. 1 The Arctic gradually became a political term in Russia [32], and it was becoming clear that it needed to be developed as a separate, self-sufficient macro-region. In 2013-2014, two important policy documents were adopted: In the spirit of strengthening State control over the northern resources, petroleum legislation was amended to only allow State companies (ownership over 50%) with at least five years of experience of drilling on the Russian continental shelf to apply for Arctic offshore oil and gas licenses [31].…”

Russian Arctic offshore petroleum governance: The effects of western sanctions and outlook for northern development

The Arctic has historically been a strategically important region for Russia, from before the Cold War to the recent efforts in increasing shipping along the Northern Sea Route. Russia holds the largest share of petroleum resources in the Arctic, the governance model for which has been changing over the past few decades based on the current political priorities, external events, and geophysical changes in the region. Following the conflict in Ukraine, the European Union and the United States adopted sanctions limiting the cooperation between Russian and western companies for Arctic offshore petroleum development. This paper analyses transformation in national governance of natural resources in the Russian Arctic, focusing on offshore oil and gas. It provides historical background of the governance model to facilitate the analysis of the effects of western sanctions on the current resource development and its regulation. Through the analysis of legal and policy documents, this paper provides an outlook for future developments in the Russian Arctic offshore resource governance.

“…The Arctic and its natural resources have gained significant attention in recent years, and an "Arctic rush" has occurred both in research and within companies interested in the black gold of the Arctic (see, e.g. Krivorotov & Finger, 2019). The growing interest in the Arctic by both national and international actors, acceleration of climate change and development of drilling technologies has pushed oil and gas explorations to shift further and further north.…”

“…Gazprom has a strong role both nationally and locally, to the point being described as behaving like a state within a state (see, e.g. Krivorotov & Finger, 2019;Tynkkynen, 2016Tynkkynen, , 2019. Oil and gas constitute just over 50 % of Russia's exports (Simola & Solanko, 2017).…”

Drilling for the future: Gendered justifications of the Arctic fossil fuel industry

Despite the global alarm caused by accelerating climate change, hydrocarbon companies are exploring and opening up new oil and gas fields all over the world, including the Arctic. With increasing attention on the Arctic, companies address the growing global environmental pressure in their public marketing in various ways. This article examines the webpages of Norwegian Equinor and Russian Gazprom & Gazprom Neft. Building on feminist discussions, I analyse the different justification strategies these fossil fuel companies working in the Arctic utilise in order to support their ongoing operations. This article concludes that in order to justify their operations in the Arctic, the Norwegian and Russian companies emphasise values based on discourses that have historically and culturally been associated with masculine practices, such as the control of nature enabled by technology. These justifications are thus reinforcing the narrative of the Arctic as a territory to be conquered and mastered. Even though the companies operate in different sociopolitical contexts, the grounds of justification are rather similar. Their biggest differences occur in their visual presentations of gender, which I argue is part of the justification. Approaching the fossil fuel industry from a feminist perspective allows questioning the dominant conceptualisations, which the justifications of Arctic hydrocarbon companies are based on.
