Presently, Russia does not have any acute maritime energy disputes with other Arctic nations. But there are some potential risks of future tensions. The first type of potential conflict is represented by the Russian-Norwegian residual bilateral problems concerning the Barents Sea. In spite of the 2010 Norwegian-Russian agreement on the delimitation of the Barents Sea, Moscow still worries that, in the future, when the extraction of Arctic oil and gas becomes a pressing need for Norway because of the depletion of its hydrocarbon resources in the North Sea, Oslo might start exploiting Barents Sea transborder hydrocarbon reserves without Russian participation.
