Influence of the factors such as age and professional length of service of the drivers on the frequency of industrial injuries is considered. For conducting analysis, the statistical data was used related to the incidents that occurred on the land transport in one of the Russian oil and gas companies in the period of 2006–2019. Despite the fact that the transportation by land transport is not the main area of the company activity, this group of incidents takes the second place. Therefore, study of the factors on which the number of incidents on the land transport may hypothetically depend is relevant. The main tool of the analysis in the work is Pareto diagrams, which are used to determine the age group and that length of professional service of the drivers, in which the greatest number of incidents occurred on the land transport. Further, using the correlation method the dependence was determined, and the qualitative assessment of the obtained relationship tightness was carried out. Of the two hypotheses put forward in the work about the influence of the age and length of service of the drivers on the number of incidents on the land transport, one was confirmed — with an increase in the length of service of the drivers, there is a tendency of reducing the risk of an incident occurrence. The results of the conducted analysis allow to conclude that in addition to the basic statistical data on incidents, it is required to study and consider other factors that can affect on the number of incidents on the land transport, one of which is the level of safety culture of the drivers.

The article highlights the role of oil and gas enterprises as the main source of fuel and energy resources for the state. This requires the heads of oil and gas companies to find and implement effective ways and methods of enterprise management. The need to apply the latest concepts and approaches to management, among which the concept of cost-oriented management of the enterprise deserves special attention. In this context, the authors from a theoretical standpoint analyzed the concepts of enterprise management that exist in world practice, identified current trends in management, and identified problems in the implementation of cost-oriented management in Ukraine. In order to solve these problems, the role of information capital in creating the value of the enterprise is considered. The economic categories of information capital and economic evaluation of information capital are characterized. It is established that the economic evaluation of information capital of the enterprise is one of the main tools in cost-oriented management of business entities. The main aspects of economic evaluation of information capital of enterprises are highlighted – cost, value and efficiency of its use. The stages of economic evaluation of the information capital of the enterprise are developed. For the valuation of information capital of the enterprise on the basis of previous publications systematized the main approaches and methods of calculating the cost. For the qualitative assessment of information resources, a number of basic qualitative properties of information have been identified, which have a direct impact on the assessment of the quality of information, and the nature of management decisions. In order to develop methodological approaches to the qualitative evaluation of information, the qualitative properties of information are grouped by levels. The peculiarities of assessing the efficiency of information capital in the case when the information system is used only for the implementation and maintenance of business processes, the products of which are exclusively information and assessing the effectiveness of information capital in oil and gas companies, whose main purpose is oil and gas, are highlighted.

Subject. Illustrating the case of Rosneft Oil Company, we herein study how innovation spurs business operations, increases the competitiveness of firms and protects them from risks. Objectives. We model the innovative activity of Rosneft Oil Company and its competitiveness. Methods. We analyze proceedings by the Russian and foreign scholars, materials on program for the innovative and sustainable development of Rosneft Oil Company. Our assessments were based on statistical data of Rosneft’s annual report for 2004–2019. The regression analysis and econometric studies were conducted via Eviews10. Results. We set models to predict the innovative development of the company for the nearest future. We revealed that the linear model was the most appropriate and suitable for forecasting. Properties and estimates of the exponential model turned to be insignificant, on the contrary. Conclusions and Relevance. Currently, it is difficult to forecast the extent to which corporate development, its innovative activity will change in 2020 and in the nearest future. Despite the company’s achievements before 2020, continuous trade wars, geopolitical conflicts, pandemic, OPEC agreements and a consequential drastic drop in the demand for power resources considerably slowed down the pace of the economic growth not only in the company, but also in the country.

Subject. This article explores the market valuation ratios of the twenty five leading public oil and gas companies between 2006 and 2018. Objectives. The article aims to identify key trends in the changes in market valuations of the largest public oil and gas companies, and identify the factors that have caused these changes. Methods. For the study, I used comparative, and financial and economic analyses, and generalization of materials of the companies' consolidated financial statements. Results. The article shows certain changes in the main indicators of market valuation of the leading public oil and gas companies and identifies the main factors that contributed to these changes. It establishes that the most significant for comparison and valuation are ratios based on balance sheet values of assets and equity, and EBITDA, DACF and net income ratios are appropriate as auxiliary ratios. The article says that the exchange segment of the industry has increased the debt load, so instead of market capitalization as a component of the coefficients of this group, it is advisable to apply the company's value indicator. Conclusions and Relevance. The article concludes that the market sentiments towards the stock market segment of the global oil and gas industry are getting impaired. This is quite natural against the background of falling profitability of most leading companies. The results of the study can be useful in evaluating, forecasting and developing measures to increase the market capitalization and value of public oil and gas companies.
