Mindlin Yury Borisovich

Today, the cluster model of the economy is being implemented in almost all countries of the world, and clusters operate in many (and most often in innovative) sectors of the economy. The development of globalization processes puts forward new requirements for the competitiveness of countries, among which the structure of energy production and production will have an increasingly significant impact in the future. According to OPEC forecasts, trends in the distribution of the world's main energy resources by 2030 include a slight increase in the share of hydropower (from 2.4% in 2008 to 2.8% in 2030), a stable share of nuclear energy, and a slight increase in the share of natural gas and biofuels. At the same time, oil will remain the main energy resource in the structure of world energy resources, although its share will decrease from 35.7% to 30.2% during the study period. This article examines the current situation on the energy market, pricing mechanisms on the world oil and gas markets, highlights the features of correlation of oil and natural gas prices in different regions of the world economy, studies the main factors that caused a sharp and prolonged drop in prices on the world oil market and their impact on the gas market, predicts further trends in the development of the oil and gas market by analyzing the behavioral strategies of participants in the short and long term, as well as on the basis of clustering the industry within the country.
