Abstract
The current state of the production of fossil fuels in the Arctic has been analyzed. It is shown that the Rrealization of the high potential of the Arctic is impossible without the active promotion of high-tech developments of the “Fourth Industrial Revolution” (“Industry 4.0”). Extremely difficult natural and climatic conditions, remoteness from the main regions of consumption of mineral resources and an in-sufficient level of geological and geophysical study of the land and offshore areas of the Arctic hinder its development. The high level of vulnerability of the Arctic ecosystem is substantiated on specific examples. As a result of 7 years of research, the genesis of a previously unknown phenomenon of powerful explosive degassing of the Earth with the formation of giant craters is substantiated. It is substantiated that significant breakthroughs in various areas of industrial production and various scientific research are possible only at a new level of technical and technological development “Industry 4.0” at the levels of lithosphere-hydrosphere-atmosphere-space.
