There are many challenges on the development of oil and gas in the Russian Arctic, most risks facing the oil and gas industry are magnified in such an ecologically vulnerable region. Modern technology can help manage some of those challenges, by coordinating different sources of information in order to minimize risks that could end up in very costly tragedies in terms of losses of ecosystem services and human life, robotics reduce these risks. This paper concludes that Russian companies need to learn from the example of Norway and invest more in technological innovation.
