Project Management System of Exploration Program in the Light of Prioritizing of Reservoir Engineering Stages According to the Criterion of Prospects

Abstract

A model of the project portfolio management system of a geological exploration enterprise has been developed, taking into account the stages of work. The model includes a control object, a decision-making subsystem, which includes a control device represented by the decision support software system “Balance of Groundwater Availability” (BGA) and an executive device represented by a decision-maker, making decisions at a geological exploration enterprise. The stimulus to the target asset arises on the one hand in connection with the implementation of sectorial and federal programs within the area for the development of the geological industry and the reproduction of mineral resources, on the other hand, it is the need to maintain a certain balance of the availability of raw materials in the region, in particular, underground water. Hence, it is necessary for the underground water exploration company to take into account the specifics of the programs in view of the interconnection of the sites within one large field of regional scale. In this case, the project portfolio needs to be managed, taking into account the network nature of their interaction, i.e. mutual influence on the remaining sections of the field. On the other hand, when forming a portfolio of projects of a geological exploration enterprise, it is necessary to take into account staging and phasing of geological exploration, their seasonal nature allows viewing the model of the management system in the context of discrete time. The work was carried out with the financial support of the grant of the President of the Russian Federation No. MD-2409.2020.5.
