Digitalization and intellectualization of the processes of use of oil and gas fields in Ukraine

Ptashchenko, Liana

The article examines the current trends of digitization and intellectualization of the use of oil and gas fields in Ukraine, analyzes the practice of implementing digital doubles, artificial intelligence systems, and integrated digital platforms in the activities of leading oil and gas companies, and also identifies the main advantages, risks, and prospects for the development of digital subsoil use in the context of the transformation of the energy sector of Ukraine.

The article studies the current trends in digitalization and intellectualization of the use
of oil and gas fields in Ukraine in the context of technological transformation of the energy sector, growing macroeconomic instability, military challenges, and the need to ensure the energy security of the state. It is substantiated that the integration of digital technologies, intelligent control systems, artificial intelligence, digital twins (Digital Twins), predictive analytics and geological and hydrodynamic modelling forms a new paradigm of management of hydrocarbon production processes aimed at increasing productivity, optimizing production costs and minimizing technological risks.
It has been established that the implementation of digital solutions contributes to reducing the time of modelling production scenarios, increasing the accuracy of geological forecasting, reducing the risk of drilling low-productivity wells, improving the efficiency of resource management, and increasing the level of operational safety. At the same time, it has been proven that the digitalization of the oil and gas sector is accompanied by a number of challenges related to cyber threats, high capital intensity of digital modernization, shortage of highly qualified personnel, problems of integrating the latest technologies with outdated production infrastructure and the lack of sufficient regulatory and legal support for the use of autonomous intelligent systems. The need to develop comprehensive mechanisms for cyber protection of critical energy infrastructure, strengthen interaction between oil and gas companies, scientific institutions, and higher education institutions, as well as improve the state policy of regulating the digital transformation of subsoil use is substantiated. It has been proved that the intellectualization of the use of oil and gas fields is an important prerequisite for increasing the competitiveness of the domestic oil and gas sector, rationalizing the use of natur
