One of the most promising topics in the mining industry in Russia is the development of the resources of the Arctic and continental shelf. Experts will traditionally discuss key issues in the oil and gas industry at the RAO / CIS Offshore forum. The event is held every 2 years. Over its more than twenty-five-year history, it has acquired the status of the main international platform in its field.

In 2021, the forum is being held on the instructions of the Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation A.V. Novak. 

It includes:

• two plenary sessions on the development of the Russian Arctic and Continental shelf,
• a conference program, including fifteen round tables and sessions,
• an exhibition that will present projects for the development of oil and gas fields in the Russian Arctic and continental shelf of the CIS countries, new equipment and technologies for drilling and development of offshore hydrocarbon fields, protection and safety equipment, and will be exclusive,
• special events both at the RAO / CIS Offshore 2021 venue and at the enterprises of St. Petersburg.
