The current problems and prospects for the development of the world market of energy resources are considered. On the basis of the "Energy Strategy of Russia for the period until 2030" the prospects for its implementation in terms of the transportation of energy resources were determined from the standpoint of the supply strategy model (procurement) using the P. Kralich matrix (highlighting the strategic, basic, non-critical and problematic energy resources transported); from the standpoint of the traditional SWOT-analysis (with the allocation of external market opportunities, external threats, internal strengths and internal weaknesses that hinder the increase in the efficiency of energy use during transportation). © The Authors, published by EDP Sciences, 2019.
