Abstract

The article discusses the federal regulatory framework for ensuring the rational use of associated petroleum gas (hereinafter referred to as APG) in the Russian Federation at the present stage. It is shown that in the Russian Federation, as in other oil-producing countries, this problem can be solved only by joint efforts of oilproducing companies and the state as a whole, taking into account the industrial potential of the country and the value of this raw material. A subjective analysis of the relevant research data allows us to give a preliminary conclusion that here the interests and contradictions of many interested subjects of such legal relations converge. It is necessary to take into account: firstly, the ecology and health of the population of the country; secondly, the interests and profits of subsoil users, gas processing enterprises, consumers of products; third, regional interests, taking into account the locations of APG production, infrastructural restrictions, etc. All of the above indicates that the state should pursue a flexible and «prudent» policy of state regulation of APG use, so that it is economically beneficial for oil producing companies and increased their interest in the rational use of APG.
