The objective of this study show the current state of the oil sector in Russia and the main measures aimed at the resistance of low oil prices in unfavorable geopolitical conditions. Briefly discussed principles of the tax system, and evaluated the effectiveness of the implementation of tax maneuver for the state and subsoil users. The tax system takes into account the fluctuations in oil prices, allowing you to establish mutually beneficial relationships between the main actors in the oil business: Host Government and subsoil users.

The implementation of a rational tax policy has allowed softening the damage caused by the fall in world market prices of oil and international sanctions. As a result, in a crisis, oil companies continue to operate successfully and even increase profits. The improved tax policy easies the burden of the exploration of small and medium recourses including those characterizes by the difficultly-extracted reserves and new fields in the east of the country. The volume of oil provided on these beneficial conditions e in 2015 exceeded 160 million tons, which amounts accounting to 30% of total Russian oil production.

The limited investment borrowing led to widespread decline in exploration re industry, suspense the implementation of large projects. In the context of the changed geopolitical environment, companies are forced to pay attention to increase its internal efficiency. Oil companies are diversifying investments and sales markets. The emphasis is made not on crude oil extraction but on its processing and obtaining the final product.

The international division of labor led to the fact that Russia possesses enough oil and no equipment even though it used to have all necessary technologies and techniques including the one for directional and horizontal drilling on land and sea. The imposition of sanctions has given impetus to the recovery of the Russian industry.
