Problems of financing of technological innovation in oil production market

Abstract

The article presents the results of the study of pricing problems in the world oil market in terms of dependence of the oil supply on the state of oil production companies. The authors attempted to examine the degree of dependence of oil production on such factors as the number of enterprises in the industry, average annual number of staff in them, production drilling volume, average daily production rate per well, degree of wear of fixed assets of companies, the number of commissioned production facilities, renewal of fixed assents of companies, profitability level, business activity of the enterprises in the industry. The study is based on the data characterizing the development of oil market within a relatively steady period. The global oil market is a delicate exchange market mechanism sensitive to changes in pricing trends in global commodity and financial markets. World oil pricing trends depend on many political, economic, seasonal, regional factors as well as the situation with the tanker fleet, etc. The aggravation of the crisis and expectations of businesses about the future dynamics of global oil prices impact currency exchange rates, stock quotes, retail and wholesale prices. The COVID-19 pandemics caused decrease in manufacturing and other economic activity which determine oil export volumes. The current situation forces most of oil cartel countries to reduce quotes. The state of oil production industry, supply and demand relation, stabilization of oil prices remain the key aspects of pricing in the oil market.
