Management of pilot IT projects in the preparation of energy resources

Abstract

The article examines high-risk objects in which it is necessary to monitor its state to prevent hazardous activities during the cycle of preparation of energy resources. The paper examines IT projects that help to if not prevent, then at least minimize the consequences of the negative impact of hazardous industries in process of preparation of energy resources. Due to the fact that currently, there are no uniform and specific requirements for the functionality of such information systems in public services, companies are implementing pilot projects for the implementation of the above tasks. All stages of the pilot project were formed and analyzed in detail. Based on the survey results, the requirements for the functional blocks of the information system were determined. The findings of the study were formed and presented for further use for the project management activities for the company in the oil and gas industry. Implementation of the project in pilot format is the most suitable option in the current conditions. This allows minimizing project risks associated with exceeding the deadlines, budget, as well as inconsistencies of current functionality with the needs of system users by ensuring the possibility of developing and testing the system in a short time and clarifying the future direction of IT solution refinement.
