ECONOMIC EFFECTS OF REENGINEERING OF GROUND INFRASTRUCTURE OF OIL AND GAS PRODUCING ENTERPRISES
The article analyzes the composition of the ground infrastructure of an oil and gas producing enterprise, its main characteristics, as well as the cycle of infrastructure development within the framework of technological aspects. The features of operation methods of ground facilities objects of oil and gas fields in relation to the nature of the allocation of costs and the transparency of investment are given. The differences between infrastructure maintenance and optimization measures, as well as between the concepts of optimization and development/adaptation, are established. The differences are that the main goal of optimization is to reduce costs or minimize risks, the development/adaptation of existing production capacities is most often carried out for technological reasons, and the maintenance of the existing infrastructure and its operating modes is carried out exclusively in accordance with the design characteristics. The analysis of the methods of operation of the ground infrastructure facilities of the fields showed that when implementing reengineering programs, a comprehensive approach to their assessment is implemented, which allows the most efficient use of financial resources.
Keywords: cost allocation, capital and operating costs (ÎÐÅÕ, CAPEX), oil and gas industry infrastructure, infrastructure reengineering, infrastructure life cycle, investments.
Highlights:
♦ it is shown that the most interesting and significant stage of the life cycle of an object of production activity is the reengineering of ground infrastructure objects;
♦ the basic options for implementing the work of ground infrastructure facilities are identified -operation, development, optimization, liquidation, maintenance of infrastructure, which reflect the nature of the allocation of costs (ÎÐÅÕ, ÑÀÐÅÕ) and transparency for investment;
♦ reengineering is a fundamental change in the course of the technological process and in the operation of technological equipment and implies a qualitatively new stage in the cycle of development of ground infrastructure.
