Positive results of production on the Prirazlomnoe field discovered in 1989 in the Pechora Sea allowed to ship and deliver 300 thousand tons of oil to the port of Rotterdam in 2014 (about 2.2 million barrels) [ 19 ]. The oil produced was called Arctic Oil (ARCO) [ 20 ]. Currently, this is the only project on the Russian Arctic shelf, where oil is commercially produced.

... Commission and Scott Highleyman, Director of International Arctic Program (The PEW Charitable Trusts) shared their views on the Arctic possibly becoming a new area of confrontation and the most promising spheres of cooperation in the region.
