Digital technologies of investment analysis of projects for the development of oil fields of unallocated subsoil reserve fund

Abstract

The task of objective economic estimation of unallocated subsoil reserve fund (USRF) objects is especially important for regions characterized by late phase of development and aggravation of mining-and-geological modes of occurrence of deposits to be implemented. This article presents an information-analytic technology for evaluation of investment prospects of USRF oil fields. This technology is a methodological base for the technical-and-economic estimation with regard to specific industrial aspects, such as: probability estimates of confirmed reserves; determination of primary technological oil field development parameters, etc. Making techno economic estimations is possible in case of using specialized software which allows to process big data, such as EVA (economic estimation of oil fields), EVA-Risk, etc. The suggested info-analytic technology has been practically tested and parameters of investment prospects have been determined for USRF oil fields in the Komi Republic which is the region having highly developed oil and gas sector and unstable prognosis regarding oil extraction for the nearest decade.
