This work examines the subject of jurisdiction and arbitrability of issues related to energy and natural resources in the world, in order to enhance the arbitration institute in Brazil. The study is based on a recent case pending in Brazilian courts, named “Lula case”, which refer to a dispute between the State and concessionaires that grant the right to explore and produce oil and gas in a determined area. The presence of arbitration clauses in the concession contracts for exploration and production of oil and gas in Brazil raises questions related to the disposability of the rights concerned. It is paramount to set benchmarks on arbitral tribunals’ power to decide on these matters and to define to what extent arbitral awards may defy public policy, national sovereignty over natural resources and national courts’ jurisdiction to render decisions in this regard. Otherwise, the randomness of judicial decisions makes the arbitration clause ineffective. Moreover, the Lula case arises substantive issues related to the necessity to protect investors in the oil and gas industry, since acts arguably connect to the State policy power may cause damages to the private parties. The work critically examines the decision given by national courts so far and proposes an international approach to face situations involving the State and the necessity to protect investors in the oil and gas industry.

The oil and gas industry is becoming one of the key priorities of the state policy of the Russian Federation. Ensuring energy and economic security, sustainable development, and innovative development in the context of the digitalization of the economy requires a qualitatively new approach to regulating the oil and gas industry. The tasks of rational use of oil and gas resources, increasing productivity, and environmental friendliness of production processes are set not only for companies in the oil and gas sector, but also increase the responsibility of the state for achieving them. The solution of the above-mentioned tasks requires an integrated approach based on a theoretical and methodological basis, economic research, systematization of world experience, taking into account the use of modern management and regulation mechanisms of oil and gas complex enterprises.

The article is devoted to the qualitative assessment of the state of the oil and gas industry in the Russian Federation based on the context of administrative-territorial units. It was realized that the data provided by different sources differs due to the variation in the calculation methods used, and the lack of detailed regional reports from foreign agencies shows the novelty of the research. In the current research the projection of administrative borders on the territory of oil and gas-geological zoning is used. To determine the degree of the dependence of regional economies from the oil and gas industry, current data about the state of the mineral resource base in the subjects of the Russian Federation were compared with the geography of the location of processing enterprises. On the basis of the obtained materials, the classification of oil and gas-bearing territories is carried out.

The oil and gas production sector in Western Australia has grown dramatically in recent years and now represents the largest resource sector in the State economy. The industry has a very promising future but it faces a number of challenges if it is to achieve its full potential. Its production location in remote parts of the State confers both advantages and disadvantages. Chief among the disadvantages is the challenge of convincing the community and government of the benefits from the industry when many of those benefits are not apparent to the majority of the population. The emphasis in this paper is on economic impacts, social benefits and community attitudes.WA has produced about 820 million barrels of oil and 2000 million barrels of natural gas when gas is calculated in energy equivalent terms. Petroleum energy production has increased dramatically over the last 15 years and the State is now a substantial energy exporter. Petroleum sources provide the energy for over 85% of the final energy used in the State. Total industry investment over the last 18 years has been nearly $21,000 million for an average of $3.2 million each day. Direct employment by petroleum companies is around 2,500 people with flow-on employment in the services sector estimated at over 17,000 people. Petroleum companies have been major contributors to government revenue and to the development of remote regions in WA.

The stimulation of inventive and rationalization activities in Russia should contribute to the transition of the country's economy to an innovative type of development. The foreign experience of stimulating inventive and rationalizing activities is being investigated. The tools, examples of measures to support and stimulate inventive and rationalization activities carried out at the state level in developed countries are considered. Foreign experience shows that the state supports the system of stimulating inventive creativity, both of individual inventors and creative, scientific collectives. The state acts as a sponsor of innovation activities, the instruments of material interest are used to ensure the acceleration of the introduction of inventions into production processes. Legal and methodological regulations stimulating inventive and rationalization activities in the Russian Federation, at oil and gas enterprises are being investigated. The existing methods of supporting inventive and rationalization activities in Russia are not specialized. The promotion of invention in Russia is regulated by legal acts and a methodological framework partially developed in the USSR, as well as in recent years in the Russian Federation. The main methods of direct and indirect government incentives that can be used to support innovation and invention at oil and gas enterprises: budget financing of research organizations and universities, financing of business incubators, technology parks, public procurement of innovative products and services, investment in the capital of financial institutions involved in the creation of innovative projects, the provision of tax incentives, the allocation of preferential government loans and credit guarantees. The necessity of participation of four levels of management in the process of improving the stimulation of inventive and rationalization activities at oil and gas enterprises is substantiated - the state level, the level of subjects of the Russian Federation, the industry level and the level of oil and gas industry enterprises, which will lead to the activation of this direction in the Russian Federation, increase in its activity, the revival of the high social status of inventors and innovators.

The article considers indicators of the quality of professional education of future workers in the oil and gas industry, the development of which is determined by the state of training. The need to study them for further specifcation is related to the fact that quality has a dynamic characteristic: its content is transformed in accordance with the needs of the state, society and specifc industries. Accordingly, the presence of indicators is the basis for an objective assessment of the quality of professional education, including future workers in the oil and gas industry. As a result of the analysis of scientifc literature, the author comes to the conclusion that there are four relevant aspects of indicators of the quality of professional education. The frst is their focus on educational results that are of priority importance in the employment of graduates. The second is characterized by the following specifcs: inclusion in the content of indicators of labor market requirements. The third aspect is characterized by the fact that in the process of developing indicators of the quality of professional education, it is necessary to take into account the specifcs of specifc professional activities, in particular, future workers in the oil and gas industry. The fourth aspect is the need for indicators to meet the requirements of regulatory documents regulating both educational and future professional activities of graduates: educational and professional standards. In this regard, the priorities of the educational organization that meet the requirements of educational or professional standards are determined. The main indicator of the quality of secondary vocational education is presented by the author in the indicators of achievement of competencies corresponding to the labor functions of the professional standard. The competence of the future oil and gas industry worker is characterized, in turn, as external and internal readiness to perform labor actions and operations. Methods for developing quality indicators are proposed: the frst combines the requirements of educational and professional standards, the second is based on the requirements of the professional standard.
