Dramatic changes in the global energy market due to COVID-19 pandemic, the OPEC+ agreement, and increasing rates of green energy share in the world community have brought negative effects on the oil sector. In the long term, oil will reduce its importance as an energy resource, but for many years, it will continue to play a significant role in the world of energy. The oil industry has huge potential in terms of technical expertise, management, and financial resources to reduce its greenhouse emissions and ensuring an affordable availability of predictable energy. However, nowadays this sector has lost investing attractiveness. It is an interdisciplinary problem with a solution at the intersection of different stakeholders’ interests. The article is a review one and devoted to the issue of the implementation a public-private partnership (PPP) as a key tool that allows the use of the state and the business’ available resources to achieve the sector’s sustainable development and investment attractiveness. Research and analysis of PPP were based on foreign and domestic literature, using classification and generalization methods, retrospective and critical analysis. This paper contains identified groups of drivers, constraints, and recommendations for further successful PPP implementation in the Russian case.

Electricity consumption of offshore oil and gas drilling platforms is usually provided by gas generator installations. However, such installations are expensive in operation and emit significant amounts of carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxides. Electricity consumption from the main grid is the best option, but expensive for platforms located far from the coast and with limited environmental benefits, if not supported by environmentally friendly production. Offshore wave energy technology, which is currently being developed for deep-water areas, can be connected directly to the platforms and work in parallel with gas turbines. Wave power station will save fuel and reduce carbon dioxide emissions, while there is no need for a long and expensive connection to the coastal grids. Operational strategies and fuel savings and emissions, depending on the size of the wind farm, are quantified by the example of the offshore oil and gas platform in the Far East shelf. In this paper, an assessment is made of the prospects of using the approach of dual power generation systems, which in turn will provide a significant reduction in fuel consumption and emissions, especially if we consider starting and stopping gas turbines. The main task is to find the optimal work strategy that balances the number of starts and stops of gas turbines with dissipative energy and fuel economy.
