Oil and Gas Asset and Project Management in Russia
Resources of the majority of oil and gas companies in Russia are managed within functional organizational structure. Thereof productivity and management efficiency depends a little on needs of a company for use and development of an oil and gas field and its infrastructure. In some industry enterprises a project management is used. The analysis of project management in such companies, as TNK-BP, LUKOIL Overseas, Rosneft, Gazprom dobycha Yamburg, Gazprom dobycha Noyabrsk was made. It is offered to use a complex of 2 models for oil and gas enterprise management. The first model has to be based on concept of oil and gas asset, the second one has to use a project management methodology. A new definition for the term "Oil and Gas Asset" is entered. The oil and gas asset is one or several fields with integrated economy, production, auxiliary and transport infrastructure, grouped according to their development logic. The oil and gas asset has its own life cycle consisting of stages and including life cycles of fields entering in the asset. Life cycle�s stages are filled both traditional (operational) activity, and design (projects� programs and projects themselves). Management of an oil and gas asset is impossible without application of one-man management principle. A project, as well as an asset has to be managed by one owner � manager or administrator (depending on powers and responsibility delegated to him). For development, elaboration and support of fields and their infrastructure (i. e. that activity which is difficult to operate in functional organizational structures) it is offered to apply the project management methodology. A multilevel project management model, as well as examples of projects� type design practice, and structures of decomposition of their works have been presented in this paper. The specified models were applied to development and deployment of mana gement�s corporate systems in OAO Tomskgazprom and OOO Gazprom transgaz Tomsk. Systems apply complex integration approach to a problem of coordinated management of fields and other assets and resources related to the oil and gas company.
