Fuel and Energy Complex of Kazakhstan: Geological and Economic Assessment of Enterprises in the Context of Digital Transformation

Abstract

The relevance of the study is dictated by the growing role of the fuel and energy complex of developing countries in the decarbonization of the economy. The article discusses the digital transformation of mining enterprises in Kazakhstan, taking into account the transition to CRIRSCO international standards and growing competition in the global mineral market. The purpose of the study is to assess the current level of digitalization of the mining industry in Kazakhstan and to deepen the methodological apparatus of the geological and economic assessment of the enterprise based on the factual base of deposits. The role of the transformation of the mining sector in achieving the sustainability of the poorly diversified economy of Kazakhstan is shown. The importance of digitalization of the industry to complete the transition to CRIRSCO international standards and improve the assessment of the digital provision of enterprises in order to optimize their financial and economic policies is argued. It has been established that, at present, most of the enterprises in the investment-attractive mining sector have a low potential for the transition to a new technological paradigm. A methodological approach to the geological and economic assessment of these enterprises has been developed. To maintain high standards of management transparency through the digitalization of key business processes, along with well-known practices of economic analysis, the IDEF1 methodology was used. In order to expand the software ecosystem, the formats of electronic geological and economic databases are integrated into the digital infrastructure of the enterprise. It is substantiated that the introduction of high technologies in the mining industry requires institutional changes and coordinated interaction between the state, business, and universities as equal partners.

Formation of prospecting criteria for copper-porphyry deposits based on the construction of reference models

“…Since Kazakhstan's resource po tential far exceeds proven reserves, geological exploration com panies are faced with the task of converting predicted reserves into balance reserves, and this requires prospecting new com petitive deposits. At the same time, it is noteworthy that Kazakh stan is a unique geological province of the world with a complex geologicaltectonic structure and associated mineral resources [2]. Oil and gas, ore and nonmetallic deposits are truly treasures of the Republic of Kazakhstan territory [3].…”

Predicting the magnitude of technogenic earthquakes during underground mining of the Zhezkazgan ore field

“…Kazakhstan's mining industry plays a key role in the country's economy, due to its vast natural resources and significant contribution to the formation of domestic and global markets for raw materials [1], [2]. In light of modern challenges and technological innovations, the mining sector is becoming a fundamental element of Kazakhstan's sustainable development strategy.…”
