State regulation of the oil and gas sector in 2014, prospects for 2015

Our traditional series of reports is concluded with the final review of main developments in the Russian oil and gas sector in 2014.

2014 year has not been a typical year for the sector. The oil and gas sector encountered several serious problems simultaneously.

World oil prices dropped sharply. Russia was subjected to tough pressure of western sanctions that naturally mostly affected the oil and gas sector – the flagship of the Russian economy. Besides, the general worsening of the budget situation made the government again resort to its favorite practice of increase in taxes on the FES.

So, what is the standing of the sector in this situation?
