Highlights
- Despite the Kremlin's encouragement, state-owned oil and gas enterprises are likely to remain hesitant to commit resources to the costly development of Arctic assets.
- Moscow will try to reduce the financial burden of building Arctic infrastructure, but its proclivity to offer incentives on a case-by-case basis will hamper rapid development.
- In the end, the output from the Arctic could fall short of government targets to ensure sustained oil production levels and overall economic growth.
