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 nega-tive 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 so-lution 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.

Prospects of ecological technologies development in the Russian oil industry have been developed in the paper. Reducing the negative impact on the environment is inextricably linked with the development of applied technologies. On the basis of scientific, systematic and comparative analysis we have identified major environmental issues arising from extraction, processing and use of oil and the directions of their solution. The greatest negative impact on the environment is provided by such factors as sludge formation, burning of associated gas, increased accident rate and the use of fuel oil. A number of problems in the field of environmental safety in the oil industry may be avoided by using innovations. In this work, we have assessed the prospects for reducing the negative impact on the environment through the application of modern engineering solutions in the field of ecology. In order to reduce environmental impacts and economic costs, it is primarily proposed to develop technologies in the area of safe waste management, modernization of treatment facilities and prevention of oil and oil products spills.

Currently in the Russian Federation there is a large number of methods for determining the economic damage from environmental pollution. They make it possible to assess the quantitative damage caused by the industry to the environment and consider the environmental pollution factor when calculating the economic performance of enterprises. In general, all methods can be reduced to three main types, whose main advantages and disadvantages, as well as applicability for adjusting the performance of enterprises, and inclusion in environmental performance assessment are discussed in this article. The authors proposed a step-by-step procedure for including the factor of negative impact on the environment in the evaluation of companies’ performance. First, a preliminary consolidated assessment is made by the method of specific damage. Secondly, the economic effect is calculated by the method of generalized indirect estimates. If necessary, clarification of calculations by the method of direct calculation is carried out. When calculating production efficiency indicators, considering the nature protection activities of the enterprise, a method of accounting for the prevented damage is proposed.
