The work is devoted to the estimation of the contribution of the achievements of science and technology realized in the technological equipment for the use of gas aimed at increasing the reliability and efficiency of solutions for field development.
Increasing the efficiency and reliability of gas utilization systems is possible through the integration of technological solutions based on combined physical effects into their composition. Integration into old or newly created equipment of scientific and technical discoveries allows creating flexible technological solutions. Reducing the mass-dimensional characteristics of equipment for the use of gas is achieved through the use of modern lightweight materials and structures, and the integration of equipment into single block-modular construction-variable structures. The design of the building-alterable elements of new products in full factory readiness reduces the construction and installation costs by 10-15%, allows to reduce the occupied area of installations by 5 times
The evolutionary algorithm for creating advanced technologies for the useful use of gas is based on the integration of scientific and technological discoveries into old or newly created equipment.
The solutions developed by the algorithm include the latest achievements of science and technology. Such solutions for gas utilization systems allow: to reduce costs for CAPEX and OPEX up to 5-10%, increase efficiency of electric installation drive (~ 10%), reduce oil carryover with gas up to 3-5%, return additional volume of liquid hydrocarbons (110- 150 g / m3) into commercial oil.
Management
To enhance its technology management model and planning, the Gazprom Neft Company formulated a technology strategy, which focuses on moving from a “smart buyer” approach to a “strategic goal-setter” effort that emphasizes technological development through partnerships. The company is now focusing on a fast search, adaptation, and adoption of new technology strategy, which is a priority of the company. To gain that, it was necessary to realize our technological challenges in order to expand resource portfolio access and maximize invested assets.
These efforts are based on the underlying principles of technological development created by the upstream division. The technological strategy is a vital element of the Technology Management System (TMS), an integrated system used by the company to manage the processes of search, selection, trial, introduction, and replication of technologies. Currently, about 80% of the entire project portfolio involves purchasing and adapting ready-made technological solutions.
From Production to Implementation of Project Portfolio
Know-how and competencies in technology management are the keys to profitability and competitiveness of the industry’s market players. All international oil companies (IOCs) have long realized the value of technology as key to determining economic performance and the degree of access to the resource base.
Despite the fact that IOC investments in technological development continuously grow and reach billions of dollars, the focus on optimizing the technology projects portfolio increases. Forming a consolidated approach to technology management and maximizing return on investment have now become key to realizing the most value from technology. At the same time, as noted in the research, there is no direct correlation between shareholder return and expenditure on research and development (R&D). The implication is that a company’s ability to correctly identify priorities and challenges in technological development is more important than the amount of investment. In other words, “the way you invest is more important than how much you invest.”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
