ABSTRACT
The study investigates possibilities for renewable energy technologies application at the facilities of the oil and gas industry in the Arctic Zone of the Russian Federation (AZRF). Due to the relatively high potential for renewable energy sources in the Arctic region, it is possible to implement corresponding technologies to provide a more sustainable energy supply. The paper estimates the energy consumption of some of the installations of the oil and gas industry in the AZRF and diesel fuel replacement potential. Some of the prospective power generation system configurations based on alternative energy sources have been proposed. It has been shown that the solutions, which combine traditional and renewable energy technologies, are able to meet the essential reliability requirements while facilitating higher sustainability of oil and gas industry.
