Energy Information Administration predicts that from 2018 to 2050, global energy-related CO2 emissions will increase by 0.6% annually, the increase in energy demand will directly stimulate the extraction of Arctic oil and gas energy. The Arctic region contains about one-fifth of the world's oil and gas resources and is one of the frontier areas of global oil and gas exploitation. In order to better understand the current status, hotspots and future development directions of Arctic oil and gas energy research, this article searches the web of science database for related literature on Arctic oil and gas energy from 1990 to 2019. Using Citespace to conduct a bibliometric analysis, it is found that the current research on Arctic oil and gas energy is mainly concentrated in three aspects (1) Climate change brings a new situation in the use of Arctic energy. (2) The relationship between energy utilization and economic development. (3) The impact of energy exploitation on the original Arctic environment. This provides guidance for subsequent researchers to systematically and thoroughly study the impact of COVID-19 on the environment.
