This research focuses on examining the effects of university field courses on distance education and the integration of distance education into courses. A group of 357 university students studying biomedical engineering at universities in the Kosovo region and the Russian Federation volunteered to participate in the research.  A quantitative research method was used in the study. In the research, the "Distance Education" measurement tool developed by the researchers was used as a data collection tool. The questionnaire was developed and edited by experts in the field. Data were collected using an online survey. The collected data were ana-lysed using the SPSS program. Frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, minimum and maximum values, one-way ANOVA and T-test were applied to analyse the data obtained from the Distance Education measurement tool. This re-search concluded  that the majority of university students consider them-selves competent enough to use distance education technologies in the learning environment in the field courses, and they do not have difficulty using the systems in the field courses and their universities do not have sufficient equipment for the use of distance education technologies.

The article analyzes the organizational structure of the project management development with regard to the field of traditional oil reserves, functional responsibilities and areas of responsibility of its participants, as well as the mechanisms of their interaction during the implementation of work to form the organizational structure of managing a large and unique project – the development of high-viscosity oil deposits. It has been revealed that in modern business conditions the implementation of projects for the development and recovery of high-viscosity oil fields based on the traditional organizational structure of management is not effective enough. The main reasons that impede the successful implementation of projects for the development of new deposits based on the traditional organizational structure of management are identified. A new organizational structure for managing a field development project is proposed, which includes a single center of responsibility for the field development project. By the example of the Ashalchinskoye field, the economic effect of using the formed organizational structure for managing the project for developing the field in the form of a possible additional annual oil production was calculated.
