The article examines the place of Arctic gas projects in the global economic system amid the transformation of the global gas market in 2022-2025. It is shown that the significance of the Arctic gas segment is determined not only by the region’s resource potential, but also by its integration into international trade in natural gas and LNG, international logistics, sanctions and investment regimes, as well as into the geo-economic strategies of states. The study substantiates that Arctic projects constitute a distinct segment of the global gas industry for which export infrastructure, contractual stability, access to technology, and adaptation to climatic and institutional constraints are of critical importance. It is concluded that the long-term role of gas projects in the Arctic is determined by their ability to integrate into the new configuration of global energy and international economic relations.
