ORGANIZATIONAL AND-ECONOMIC MECHANISMS OF INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF CROSS-BORDER DEPOSITS IN THE ARCTIC BY THE EXAMPLE OF RUSSIA AND NORWAY

Article is devoted to the development of cross-border hydrocarbon fields, which is possible to develop on either side of the border, and that creates a lot of disputes, conflicts, and even wars between states. For effective development of such facilities the state usually negotiate and conclude a into an Agreement that provide international yunitizatsii procedure. The basic idea of the international unit - is the development of the field as a whole, and the establishment of a unified regulation in this field. The article gives a detailed analysis of the theoretical aspects of classification of cross-border deposits, the main approaches to their development. The analysis of the Russian-Norwegian agreement on the delimitation of the Barents Sea, revealed the effect from the conclusion of Russia and Norway agreement, which eliminated the problem of delimitation of maritime areas, put an end to forty years of negotiations on the subject and thus opening the possibility of using hydrocarbon resources in the previously "frozen" district in the so-called "gray zone". The joint field development in the Barents Sea is characterized by a high degree of risk, so were identified several areas of international cooperation, which is critical for the efficient production of hydrocarbons in the region, such as: the lack of data on the climatic conditions, the complexity of the transportation support of offshore operations, the danger operations of vessels in ice conditions, the lack of multi-purpose vessels, the lack of services to meet the needs of the oil and gas industry. Possible reasons have been given, as well as suggest possible solutions to these problems.
