pdf Problems of small and junior business in the oil and gas industry of the Russia. Part 2. Development options
Based on the empirical study conducted in the first part of this article, a description of the problems hindering the development of small and junior business in Russia is described; the steps to move this process off the ground are given. The following mechanisms are proposed: a multiple reduction in the cost of exploratory drilling; regulation of the circulation of geological information to create a market for multi-client geophysical and geochemical services; active involvement of small businesses in exploration by regular licensing rounds. The mechanisms are embedded in the system with the creation of pilot sites that are geographically and geologically fixed in the zones of the petroleum bearing areas with developed infrastructure and with well-known geological conditions for well drilling.

Keywords: junior business in the Russia, petroleum exploration, petroleum bearing area, multi-client geophysical and geochemical services.

pdf Problems of small and junior companies in the oil and gas domain of Russia. Part 1. Experience of sociological research
The article focuses on the problem of the development of small and junior business in the Russian exploration industry. The publication is based on the results of an initiative research project carried out in 2019-2020. Within the framework of the project, a sociological study was conducted in which, using the in-depth interview method, representatives of small and junior businesses, state, scientific and expert communities were interviewed.
Conclusions are made about the presence of significant problems that impede the development of juniors. In particular, problems with raising funds, administrative regulation and the specifics of the bureaucratic system that are not conducive to the development of companies, the state’s attitude to private initiative, and the state’s disequilibrium attitude towards large oil and small independent companies are highlighted.
Prerequisites are highlighted that allow us to talk about the possibility of developing a small and junior business: the availability of resources attractive to investors and subsoil users; significant scientific, personnel potential; experience gained in the previous period of the "heyday" of junior business.

Keywords: oil and gas small business, oil and gas junior business, exploration petroleum industry in Russia.
