Calculations and the conclusion about the most rational method for calculating sea Arctic projects were made. This method of real options allows to take into account peculiarities of venture projects. This work is practically important because the offered methodology can be applied for all gas-and-oil deposits at the Arctic shelf of Russia that have been actively developed over the last decade.Keywords: Risk, option, oil, gas, shelf, deposit, sensitivity analysis.JEL Classifications: Q32, Q39, Q47.
