The absence of a balanced automation strategy of an oil and gas company has the greatest negative impact at the strategic level of the company's management, where the price of a manager's error is the greatest [1-4]. Therefore, this publication defines the principles, characteristics, architecture, specific industry problems and the strategy of creating an information system of a Ukrainian oil and gas company. In particular, the developed concept of the information system architecture of an oil and gas company provides for the allocation of 3 macro-levels (subsystem of technological process management; subsystem of tactical management; analytical subsystem of top management [5-7]) and 4 macro-functional blocks (subsystem of exploration and production management; subsystem of transport management; subsystem of management implementation; subsystem of the control apparatus).
On the basis of the developed strategy for configuring the information system of the oil and gas company, it can be concluded that: the construction of an effective information system of the oil and gas company is possible through the integration of purchased and self-developed components; specialized software that helps manage the oil and gas company's mission-critical business functions is a potential focus of the oil and gas company's competitive advantage (most often BI and DSS) [8-12].
The scientific and practical results presented in the article regarding the methodology and configuration of innovative architecture of information systems and information technologies in an oil and gas company in post-crisis conditions should be taken into account when reengineering corporate information systems for the oil and gas industry in Ukraine in crisis and post-crisis conditions.
Moreover, the obtained results are relevant and applicable not only for local companies, but also for international oil&gas corporations on emerging markets in the context of global and regional macroeconomic and edipemical crisis phenomena.
