What problems are common in the oil and gas industry?

1) Irrational use of resources (low level of reserves extraction, low quality of oil products); 2) Low rates of application of the latest technologies, innovations and modernization of equipment (This is especially important in connection with the increase in the share of hard-to-recover reserves due to clause 1); 3) Slowdown in the growth rate of oil and gas production (due to a lack of investment and the need to develop offshore fields and fields in hard-to-reach regions); 4) Increase in the number of idle wells; 5) Unsatisfactory solution of problems of ecology and utilization.
