Stimulattion of inventive and innovative activities in oil and gas industry

The stimulation of inventive and rationalization activities in Russia should contribute to the transition of the country's economy to an innovative type of development. The foreign experience of stimulating inventive and rationalizing activities is being investigated. The tools, examples of measures to support and stimulate inventive and rationalization activities carried out at the state level in developed countries are considered. Foreign experience shows that the state supports the system of stimulating inventive creativity, both of individual inventors and creative, scientific collectives. The state acts as a sponsor of innovation activities, the instruments of material interest are used to ensure the acceleration of the introduction of inventions into production processes. Legal and methodological regulations stimulating inventive and rationalization activities in the Russian Federation, at oil and gas enterprises are being investigated. The existing methods of supporting inventive and rationalization activities in Russia are not specialized. The promotion of invention in Russia is regulated by legal acts and a methodological framework partially developed in the USSR, as well as in recent years in the Russian Federation. The main methods of direct and indirect government incentives that can be used to support innovation and invention at oil and gas enterprises: budget financing of research organizations and universities, financing of business incubators, technology parks, public procurement of innovative products and services, investment in the capital of financial institutions involved in the creation of innovative projects, the provision of tax incentives, the allocation of preferential government loans and credit guarantees. The necessity of participation of four levels of management in the process of improving the stimulation of inventive and rationalization activities at oil and gas enterprises is substantiated - the state level, the level of subjects of the Russian Federation, the industry level and the level of oil and gas industry enterprises, which will lead to the activation of this direction in the Russian Federation, increase in its activity, the revival of the high social status of inventors and innovators.

On Building a Model for the Efficient Development of the Oil and Gas Industry

Aim. The presented study aims to build a model for the efficient development of the oil and gas industry in the long term. Tasks. The authors investigate the peculiarities of the development of the oil and gas industry in the Russian Federation at the present stage when the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic has had a significant impact on the reduction of oil production and global demand for oil and petroleum products; identify strategic directions for the development of the oil and gas industry in Russia and substantiate the need for government measures to support the oil and gas industry, including the possibility of forming innovative investment resources and reducing the tax burden in combination with a global shift away from fossil fuels, which will ensure more efficient use of oil and gas reserves. Methods. This study uses the theory and methodology of strategizing developed by academician V.L. Kvint as a basis for determining strategic directions and priorities for the development of the oil and gas industry. An economic and mathematical regression model for predicting the volume of oil production in the Russian Federation over the next five years is developed with allowance for the priorities of the methodology under consideration. Results. Substantiation of the projected values of oil production increases the preparedness of Russian oil companies and the government, allowing them to respond to various scenarios in the future and thus making it possible to develop an efficient strategy based on preventive measures to reduce the impact of oil price volatility on the Russian economy. Calculations show that Russia will most likely not be able to fully realize its production potential. In the long term, oil production will naturally decline due to the depletion of the resource base. One of the prerequisites for the successful operation of oil and gas enterprises is their orientation towards an innovative strategy in the context of sustainable development. Conclusions. The era of cheap oil and unexpected profits from hydrocarbons is gradually coming to an end. Therefore, strategically important directions for the oil and gas industry include the modernization of technologies and equipment by attracting investments in oil and gas enterprises and the development of the industry’s infrastructure, diversification of the refining industry, reduction of crude oil exports, and increased exports of finished petroleum products.

Digital platform for E&P Assets Business Process Optimization with a Module for Estimation and Optimizing of Greenhouse Gases Emissions. Case Study

Resume Due to the increasing requirements for reducing the carbon footprint on the part of end users of hydrocarbons, there is a need to develop a system for automated analysis of the main business processes of oil and gas field development to assess greenhouse gas emissions, as well as for optimization in order to improve environmental safety. The paper describes a prototype of a platform that was developed for decarbonization of oil and gas enterprises using modern optimization tools and up-to-date methods for inventory of greenhouse gas emissions. The platform is based on the following models: – simulation model (IM) – simulates the company's business processes, identifying weaknesses and areas of potential development, is a set of mathematical algorithms for solving direct problems; – optimization model (OM) – allows to conduct a comprehensive analysis with a large number of parameters, excluding manual data processing and using automated information exchange between various software that is used in the oil and gas industry for modeling and monitoring of various processes, as well as developing various development options (taking into account geological conditions, geophysical interpretation, etc.). The initial conditions and the specified criteria related to economic indicators allow to solve the problem of finding the optimal parameters for the development of the selected asset. This paper shows the economic effect of implementing software based on a digital twin, implemented as a platform with the ability to build a model of an oil and gas asset, using various data (SAP, 1C, IPM GAP, Repos, Eclipse, etc.) and targets for the development. In the same way, the possible losses of the oil and gas industry from the introduction of additional carbon taxation and the potential for optimizing processes to minimize these costs are considered. IPCC methods are used to calculate greenhouse gas emissions, and direct, indirect, and fugitive emissions are considered in the calculation. The main conclusion is the need to reduce the costs for oil and gas companies and prepare modern automated digital solutions for accounting for greenhouse gas emissions in advance to achieve a zero-carbon footprint and maintain the competitiveness of the Russian oil and gas industry. As a result of the work done, the feasibility was justified, and the result was demonstrated to the customer for calculating greenhouse gas emissions based on digital twins of key business processes of oil and gas enterprises. The use of automated systems makes it possible to reduce the potential economic risks associated with the introduction of a carbon fee from large oil and gas consumers.
