THE TRANSFER OF INNOVATIONS AS THE DRIVER OF DEVELOPMENT OF INTERNATIONAL OIL AND GAS BUSINESS
Introduction: this article is devoted to the actual problem of the transfer of innovations as a driver for the development of the international oil and gas business in the context of the economic paradigm from the second industrial revolution, which was based on the principle of hierarchy of economic power and technologies such as hydrocarbon energy, nuclear and nuclear power, metallurgy and chemistry, to the third industrial revolution, which is based on the principle of horizontal interaction of subjects of economic relations and the latest technologies. Materials and Methods: The model of development of oil and gas business is based on the strategy of innovative development of the industry. The methodology of its formation is based on a multilevel approach that allows to determine the strategy of innovative development at the state, global and sectoral levels of management. Results: The analysis of the current situation on the world energy market showed that the high level of energy capacity of the Russian economy hinders the economic growth of the country and reduces its energy security. Russia's withdrawal to the standards of developed countries against the backdrop of increased global competition and the possibility of exhaustion of sources of export-raw materials requires a radical increase in the efficiency of the use of all oil and gas resources. Discussion: During the discussion of the existing threats, opportunities and scenarios for the development of the oil and gas industry, it was concluded that in order to overcome technological backwardness and achieve Russia's activation in the fuel and energy market, a set of measures is needed both to organize and conduct scientific research and development in Russia in a number of key areas and Ensuring the import of technologies for the comprehensive modernization of the production base. Conclusion: As an important direction, innovative provider is identified as a model for building a national innovation system based on the mechanism for implementing a technology transfer with the involvement of intermediary providers that transform scientific knowledge into innovation and based on market commodity-money relations because of the use of progressive innovation, innovative consulting and innovation-venture business.
