Gas industry of the Far East has accumulated high potential and can act as a driver of social and economic development of the macroregion. It is possible to form a multiplicative impulse for social and economic development of all the region in the context of development of gas industry of the Far East through implementation of large-scale strategic priorities and projects. Gas export to the Asian-Pacific countries is one of such perspective strategic opportunities that can create a whole strategic direction. Therefore, the main objective of the study is to justify network gas export as a strategic direction of the gas industry of the Far East. Theoretical and methodological basis of the study lies in the certain methodological provisions of sectoral strategizing which are based on the general theory of strategy and involve conducting OTSW-analysis as an effective tool for monitoring and justifying strategic opportunities. The analysis allowed revealing two strategic opportunities which prove high perspective of network gas export from the Far East: “Asian-Pacific region as ‘the energy window of opportunity' and ‘ecological window of opportunity' in the Asian-Pacific region”. Concentration of the whole range of interest groups (global, national, public, regional, sectoral, corporate), high resource and technology potential as well as the scale of projects devoted to network gas export (exploration and development of gas fields, increasing natural gas production in the region, infrastructure development) will enhance economic and social effects. It justifies network gas export as a strategic direction of gas industry of the Far East. Its implementation will give multiplicative impulse to the social and economic development of the Far Eastern Federal district.

In non-stationary economic conditions, being one of the most promising macroregions of Russia and despite the existing problems, the Far Eastern Federal District possesses all the resource and technology potential essential for a breakthrough in socioeconomic development. In the Far East the potential driver of development can be presented by the gas industry on the functioning and development of which is concentrated the entire range of interests (national, public, regional, industrial, corporate and international), and which possesses a number of large-scale strategic opportunities. In case the disclosed opportunities are realized through separate projects the effect may be only of the localized and short-term character. Thus, the approach should be complex and imply the development and further implementation of a full-scale industrial strategy integrated into the general system of strategies. Doe to this, the purpose of the article is to systematize the findings of the strategic analysis of the Far East gas industry and using it as the basis for creating the concept of the industriial strategy. According to this, the author builds up the concept of the mission and the vision of the strategy for the gas industry of the Russian Far East and provides a detailed description of the strategic priorities with their resulting objectives and basic effects of the public and economic efficiency of their implementation.

Strategic Opportunities of the Russian Far East Gas Industry Development: Gasification, Gas Processing and Gas-Chemistry

Strategizing: Theory and Practice

2022

Introduction. The socio-economic development of the Far East is a complex and long-term issue. It requires new priorities and prospective areas. The local gas industry can become such a development driver. It can trigger a breakthrough in the socio-economic development of the macroregion, but it needs large-scale strategic priorities and projects. The export of pipeline and compressed natural gas is one of such strategic directions. However, the region has to look for other prospective directions. The research objective was to define and substantiate such strategic opportunities for the development of the Far Eastern gas industry. Study objects and methods. The theoretical and methodological basis of the study relied on certain methodological provisions of industrial strategizing, e.g. OTSW analysis, which proved to be an effective tool for monitoring and justifying strategic opportunities. Results and discussion. The author identified strategic opportunities for the development of the Far East gas industry and came up with two strategic directions: 1) gasification of the Far East regions and 2) development of gas processing and gas chemistry production in the Far East. Conclusion. Further formation and implementation of strategic priorities in these areas will improve the gas industry in the Far East in the long run, while providing a multiplicative impulse of socio-economic development of the entire macroregion.
