Protectionism and Sanctions Policy of the USA towards the Gas Industry of the Russian Federation in the Period 2014–2022

We studied the impact of US protectionism and sanctions policy on the Russian gas industry in the period 2014–2022. Information on global energy production and the level of natural gas production in various countries for 2014–2022 was taken from the database of the international research company Enerdata. Statistical indicators of the activities of PJSC Gazprom were extracted from the organisation’s annual statistical reports. During the statistical analysis, a database was created, growth rates, total and proportional values were determined, and a correlation and regression analysis was conducted. It was established that the leading countries in gas production in 2014–2022 were the USA and the Russian Federation. The average annual increase in gas production in the above observation period was 4.4 % in the USA and 1.3 % in the Russian Federation Restrictions on the access of Russian natural gas to global markets led to an increase in the share of gas produced in the USA in global energy production by 0.97 % (from 5.05 % in 2014–2018 to 6.02% in 2019–2022), the Russian Federation’s indicators were 4.36 and 4.58 % respectively (an increase of 0.22 %). Diversification of gas imports from the Russian Federation to friendly countries is hampered by insufficient pipeline capabilities, sanctions on the supply of equipment for the development of gas liquefaction capacities, and the growth of their own gas production. In China, the average annual increase in natural gas production in 2014–2022 was 6.8 %. A targeted policy to stimulate domestic gas demand in the Russian Federation as a response to restrictions on foreign markets has made it possible to achieve an average annual increase in gas consumption in our country of 1.2 %. Thus,the US sanctions protectionism slows down the development of the gas industry in the Russian Federation and allows the US to fill the vacant niche in the global gas market.

METHODOLOGICAL APPROACH TO ASSESSING THE IMPACT OF ENERGY EFFICIENCY ON THE FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE OF A GAS COMPANY

Currently, the use of energy-saving technologies that reduce costs and improve the production process is the most important factor in the development of the gas industry. The relevance of the research topic is due to the fact that in order to resolve issues related to reducing energy costs in the gas sector of the Russian economy, optimal use of non-renewable energy resources, and reducing technological losses, an integrated approach to assessing energy efficiency is required, as well as a methodology for assessing the impact of energy efficiency indicators on the financial performance of a company. The purpose of this article is to develop a methodological approach to assessing the impact of the level of energy efficiency on the financial performance of a gas company. The research methodology is based on correlation and regression analysis tools. As part of the study, a system of energy efficiency indicators for a gas company's activities has been formed and, using correlation and regression analysis tools, a methodology for assessing the impact of the level of energy efficiency on the financial performance of a gas company is proposed. An algorithm for correlation and regression analysis is presented, which makes it possible to formalize a step-by-step assessment of the impact of the level of energy efficiency on the financial performance of a gas company. The proposed methodological approach allows us to identify correlation-regression dependencies between the company’s key performance indicators (sales revenue and net profit) and the proposed energy efficiency indicators, determine the most significant indicators that affect the company’s performance indicators and determine the equation for the relationship between the company’s performance and energy efficiency indicators. Testing of the proposed approach using the example of the gas company PJSC Gazprom made it possible to quantify how changes in the energy intensity of gas production and the energy intensity of gas transportation will affect changes in sales revenue and net profit of the company. It has been established that the energy efficiency indicator such as the specific energy intensity of gas transportation has the greatest impact on the financial performance of the company. Regression equations have been established to describe the nature of the relationship between energy efficiency indicators and sales revenue and net profit of a gas company.

Взаимодействие коммерческих и государственных цифровых платформ: преимущества и эффекты

In the context of digital transformation in economic development, the attention of business entities is largely focused on the processes of exchanging knowledge, skills, and experience between market participants, while the priority is not the production technologies themselves but the processes of managing them. This task of developing information and communication infrastructures has been successfully solved with the help of digital platforms and digital ecosystems created both in business structures and in the fields of public and municipal administration. Multifunctional digital platforms with a complex system of interactions between their various participants, which combine several types of operational activities (development, manufacture of products, including complementary ones, bringing platform products to the consumer, etc.), are the most effective since they form the processes of sharing company assets and joint value creation. Functional differences between commercial and government digital platforms were shown, as were problems arising in this regard in their interaction in the digital environment and ways to solve them. The analysis of the practical use of digital platforms created with government participation, as exemplified by the ecosystems of PJSC Sberbank and PJSC Gazprom, is carried out. During the development of new digital platforms, oligopolistic competition arises in business, which results in the monopolization of network effects and pricing policies by the creators of the platforms. Interaction in the field of digital business between commercial and government structures makes it possible to coordinate these processes and regulate macroeconomic proportions across the country as a whole. The possible effects of the implementation of commercial digital platforms in public administration functions are determined, and the interdependencies of public and private platforms and ecosystems formed on their basis are established. The possible effects of interaction between the state and business in the course of the development of new digital platform solutions and the prospects and advantages of their joint use are revealed. The interaction of the government and business in the course of the development of new digital platform solutions allows for the growth of citizens’ solvency and creates conditions for the growth of the public product of the state as a whole. The growth of public value from the introduction of government digital platforms is essential, as is their interaction with commercial digital platforms.

The main approaches to valuation of the equity capital of oil and gas companies

Subject. This article analyzes the generally accepted approaches to assessing the value of companies on the basis of financial statements data of ExxonMobil, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, Occidental Petroleum, Devon Energy, Anadarko Petroleum, EOG Resources, Apache, Marathon Oil, Imperial Oil, Suncor Energy, Husky Energy, Canadian Natural Resources, Royal Dutch Shell, BP, TOTAL, Eni, Equinor (Statoil), PetroChina, Sinopec, CNOOC, Petrobras, PJSC Gazprom, PJSC NK Rosneft and PJSC LUKOIL for 1999–2018. Objectives. The article aims to determine the specifics of using the methods of cost, income and comparative approaches in assessing the value of share capital of oil and gas companies. Methods. For the study, I used the methods of comparative, and financial and economic analyses, and financial reporting data summarizing. Results. The article finds that the cost approach is quite time-consuming, and it does not take into account the current market situation and future expectations of investors, but is based on financial information. Leading oil and gas corporations have a rather complex vertical and horizontal structure, so the cost approach is acceptable for assessing the minimum cost of small companies in the industry. The income approach takes into account the interests of investors, but its application complicates the reliability of medium-term forecasts for oil prices, which is caused by fluctuations in oil prices inherent in the industry. And the amount of net income and free cash flow in the industry largely depends on oil prices. The comparative approach does not take into account the future interests of investors, but it helps quickly determine the range of possible value of the corporation based on data on transactions and the current market situation. Thus, the analogue company method helps evaluate the cost of equity capital, and the transaction method provides insight into the level of premium for control characteristic of the industry. Conclusions and Relevance. Each of the standard approaches has its own characteristic advantages and disadvantages when assessing the value of oil and gas companies. The findings can be used to appraise the value of oil and gas assets.

ANALYSIS AND MODERNIZATION OF GAS PRODUCTION SYSTEMS FROM COMPRESSOR STATION EQUIPMENT

Reducing methane emissions into the atmosphere to minimize negative impacts on the environment and climate are the main objectives of the environmental policies of PJSC Gazprom and the Russian Federation as a whole. According to experts’ estimates, the Earth is facing a crisis situation due to greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere. In this study, an analysis of the most effective existing technologies for gas recovery from compressor station equipment was conducted, and based on their advantages and disadvantages, a new system called the Mobile Ejector Unit (MEU) was proposed. The MEU is based on a two-stage jet ejector, whose main characteristics were obtained through calculations using G.N. Abramovich’s methodology. Along with the new system, modification schemes for the valve unit to connect the MEU, gas recovery scheme from the centrifugal booster circuit, and the compressor workshop circuit are proposed. The calculation of evacuation time depending on the used recovery scheme was carried out, and an economic evaluation of the efficiency of implementing the mobile ejector unit was provided. As a result, it can be concluded that the presented technology is efficient and versatile due to its simplicity in operation, cost-effectiveness, and mobility.

Determining the discount rate for complex investment projects in oil and gas industry

In the investment programs of modern oil and gas companies (i.e., PJSC Lukoil Oil Company, PJSC Gazprom, PJSC Novatek), complex projects are gaining more and more attention, and in this case the efficiency for an investor should be assessed in terms of the overall effectiveness of projects. As an object of research, the authors consider a set of projects for the types of gas production and transportation activities. This paper studies the question of finding a discount rate with a focus on specific features of oil and gas industry. The relevance of the chosen topic is determined by the need to find a balanced rate of return of a complex investment project for inclusion in the investment portfolio of an oil and gas company. When evaluating the economic efficiency of complex projects that include subprojects of various types, such as mining or transportation, the discount rate of the entire project should be in balance with the regulatory rates for the types of activities presented in the project. In their work, the authors, drawing on the analysis of the formulas of the mathematical apparatus for calculating complex discount rate, propose a variant of calculating the internal rate of return (IRR) for a group of projects for which there is a formed level of normative values of IRR. The article is designed within the framework of economic research methods. The analysis of scientific literature and the comparative approach are combined with the use of methods of economic and mathematical modeling. The theoretical significance of the study consists in the description of the main postulates related to the analysis of profitability of investment projects in oil and gas industry. The practical significance lies in the development of approaches to determining the discount rate when assessing the economic efficiency of complex high-risk projects on the example of gas industry and the possibility of using these approaches in investment and strategic analysis of oil and gas companies.

МЕДИАИМИДЖ КОРПОРАТИВНОГО ЛИДЕРА: КЛАССИФИКАЦИЯ И ДИАГНОСТИЧЕСКИЕ КРИТЕРИИ

The formation of a media image today takes place in the special conditions of the modern public environment functioning, in the situation of the mediatization of public space. Diagnostics of the actual media image of a chief executive is considered as an important part of the organization’s communication audit. Using the example of publications in the media, social networks and other open sources of information and mentions of the heads of PJSC Gazprom gas production subsidiaries in the media, the current characteristics of the media image of the company’s chief executive were identified and diagnostic criteria for its correction were proposed. It is established that the image of the head has a significant impact on the image of the organization and is an integral part of it. One of the important components of a corporate leaders’ professionogram is their media images as necessary components of the leaders’ personal image. A well-designed image of the head of an organization, including media image, is able to legitimize high incomes, use the right to make difficult decisions and ensure the stability of the company's reputation in crisis situations. The presented method of diagnosing the media image of the chief executive of the company allows us to identify not only quantitative and qualitative indicators of the media representation of a person, but also to identify the type of media image. The article highlights such types of media image (as the image of a public person that has developed in the mass media) as active, passive, situational / reactive.

The results can be broadly subdivided into the following groups: numerical simulation, development of gas and gas-condensate fields, assessment of deformation processes accompanying field development

Формирование базового уровня компетенций в области производственной безопасности будущих молодых работников ПАО «Газпром»

For the enterprises of oil and gas complex, the issue of training personnel with more advanced competencies in the field of industrial safety becomes relevant, since the main types of production activities are associated with the hazard posed by the specifics of working with gas and oil. The process of a safety culture education, development of competencies begins when training young specialists to work at the enterprises of PJSC Gazprom at the Private Professional Educational Institution Matlashov Gazprom College Volgograd. The purpose of the study is to identify the level of development of competencies in the field of industrial safety of college students, as well as to draw attention to the topic of awareness of future young employees, their accelerated adaptation in the workplace and the influence of basic competencies in the field of industrial safety on the level of future safety culture of teams as a whole. When analyzing injuries in the company among the young employees, it was revealed that there were no college graduates among them. This is facilitated by the developed and operating mechanism for developing a basic level of competencies in the field of industrial safety for the students of the Gazprom Private professional educational institution Volgogrrad named after I.A. Matlashov. This mechanism is valid for 4 years. The essence of the mechanism is the active integration of the promotion of industrial safety issues into the learning process, extracurricular activities, during internships and being in Russian construction teams, the importance of industrial safety not only on the part of the administration, specialists, teachers, but also the students themselves. In the proposed mechanism, all the activities are carried out throughout the entire training period and comply with the Federal State Educational Standard for Secondary Professional Education. The mechanism showed its efficiency and can be applied by other educational institutions of both secondary vocational and higher education in order to ensure the quality and preservation of the lives of graduates in production conditions.

Directions for improving control procedures over the movement of financial resources in companies with a branch network on the example of OOO «Gazprom transgaz Samara»

The article deals with the problems of controlling the flow of financial resources in large companies with a wide branch network both inside and outside the country. The authors use the example of one of the largest fuel and energy Russian companies to consider the processes of financial resources movement between local branches, regional representatives and the parent organization. One of the representatives of holding structures that include companies with a branch network in the extractive industry is the Gazprom Group, which includes the parent organization represented by PJSC Gazprom and many subsidiaries engaged in oil and gas production, processing and transportation. The authors note that the implementation of financial control within such companies is a rather complex process, which contributes significantly to the financial stability of the holding company as a whole. The relevance of the work lies in the fact that the lack of an effective system of control over the movement of financial resources in companies with a branch network can affect not only the activities of the entire holding, but also the economy of the whole country. The authors present the movement of financial flows within the company, identify weaknesses and develop recommendations to improve control procedures. It is concluded that the development of the Unified system of control over the movement of cash resources in companies with a branch network can solve a number of previously identified problems of the existing control system. Despite the existing deficiencies in the control system, the proposed solutions seem simple enough to implement and will contribute to their elimination.

The foreign practice of large merger & acquisitions transactions in the stock market sector of the oil and gas industry

Subject. This article analyzes 12 major M&A deals in the stock market sector of the oil and gas industry in 2000–2019. Industry indicators are measured on the basis of data from ExxonMobil, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, Occidental Petroleum, Devon Energy, Anadarko Petroleum, EOG Resources, Apache, Marathon Oil, Imperial Oil, Suncor Energy, Husky Energy, Canadian Natural Resources, Royal Dutch Shell, BP, TOTAL, Eni, Equinor (Statoil), PetroChina, Sinopec, CNOOC, Petrobras, PJSC Gazprom, PJSC NK Rosneft and PJSC LUKOIL. Objectives. The article aims to examine the terms of M&A deals in the oil and gas stock market sector, as well as analyze the change and determine the current level of premium for control over equity capital in relation to market capitalization, and evaluate the consequences of concluded deals for the market capitalization of companies. Methods. For the study, I used the methods of comparative, financial and economic analyses, summarizing financial reporting data. Results. The article finds that market capitalization is the main benchmark for mergers and acquisitions in the stock market sector of the oil and gas industry, but the difference between the market valuation of assets and liabilities can also be used. An increase in the level of premium for capital control is noted in the industry, which exceeded half of the market capitalization. Thus, the least acceptable combination of conditions for entering into agreements is the totality of factors, such as high oil prices, commensurate capitalization of companies, cash compensation for equity capital and a high premium for control. On the contrary, transactions that took place during a period of low oil quotations with compensation in the form of shares had the most favorable effect on subsequent market capitalization. Conclusions and Relevance. It is necessary to pay close attention to the terms of mergers and acquisitions, in particular the control premium, as well as carefully calculate all the possible consequences of agreements concluded in the stock market sector of the oil and gas industry. The findings can help appraise the value of oil and gas assets as part of a comparative approach and decide on actions for raising the market capitalization of publicly traded oil and gas corporations.

An Assessment of the Financial Indicators of PJSC Gazprom

This assessment of the financial performance of PJSC Gazprom was carried out within the framework of modern theories of the cost of capital and capital structure: the Brusov–Filatova–Orekhova (BFO) theory and the Modigliani–Miller (MM) theory. Various methods for estimating the main parameter of both theories (BFO and MM), k0, the cost of equity, and WACC at zero leverage are discussed and applied. The analysis is based on data from official financial statements of PJSC Gazprom for the period from 2018 to 2022. Using the calculated values of k0, the main financial indicators were estimated, such as the cost of raising capital, the value of the company, and the cost of equity. The dependences of k0, k0*, WACC(L), V(L), and ke(L) of PJSC Gazprom on leverage level, L, for 2018–2022 were investigated. The results obtained are of forecast value, allowing a forecast of the values of financial indicators based on the particular capital structure of PJSC Gazprom.

Модели устойчивого развития нефтегазовых компаний в условиях декарбонизации: сравнение российского и зарубежного опыта

The conducted bibliographic search revealed that the scientific articles have already raised the issues of sustainable development of oil and gas companies, including the implementation of sustainable development projects in the context of aggravated environmental agenda, as well as the contribution of oil and gas companies in achieving sustainable development goals. Foreign experience demonstrates that the models of sustainable development of oil and gas companies are formed pursuant to the territorial and country specifics. It has been stated that the study of companies in the Russian oil and gas sector in this aspect has not yet been reflected in scientific papers. The distribution of Russian oil and gas companies (PJSC NK Rosneft, PJSC Gazprom, PJSC Lukoil, PJSC Novatek, PJSC Tatneft) was carried out according to the selected UN priority sustainable development goals. There is set up the question of comparing the current model of sustainable development of Russian oil and gas sector companies with Asian, European and American models of development. There are presented the results of SWOT-analysis of measures of sustainable development reports of the largest oil and gas companies of the Russian Federation. As a result of the analysis the characteristics that allow comparing the Russian experience of sustainable development with foreign experience are identified. It has been inferred that in the context of the aggravated geopolitical situation Russian oil and gas companies should also focus on achieving the goals stated in the national projects of the Russian Federation.

Development of an economic and mathematical model of cost allocation for preventive measures for oil and gas industry of the Russian Federation

Oil and gas industry occupies a significant place in the economy of the Russian Federation its share in GDP in 2021 was 17.4%. The trouble-free operation of oil and gas industry enterprises allows the stable development of this industry in particular and the economy of the state as a whole. Mining is associated with many risks general, inherent in any economic entity, and private, reflecting the specifics of the industry. Common risks include market, currency, natural, political and others. The risks inherent in the oil and gas sector are associated with the peculiarities of the production process, a high proportion of workers employed in production with harmful factors, accidents and injured workers, and harmful emissions. The object of the study is PJSC Gazprom, the largest gas supplier in the Russian Federation. The article considers such risk indicators as the number of accidents, the number of victims of industrial accidents, the volume of wastewater discharge into surface water bodies. These indicators are analyzed for the period from 2011 to 2021. A decreasing trend of these risk indicators, accompanied by fluctuations, is revealed. The cost of risk reduction measures was also analyzed: the cost of industrial safety, the cost of labor protection, the cost of environmental protection for PJSC Gazprom for the period from 2011 to 2021. Costs, in contrast to the considered risk indicators, do not have a definite trend. A model of the relationship between production volume, risk indicators and risk reduction costs has been developed. On the basis of the developed model, the problem of minimizing the total costs under regulatory restrictions on risk indicators is formulated. Separate functions have been developed that reflect the relationship between the number of accidents and the cost of industrial safety, the number of victims of accidents and the cost of labor protection, wastewater discharge and environmental protection costs. The presented models can be used by specialists of PJSC Gazprom when developing a risk management strategy, as well as by risk managers of other oil and gas enterprises after adjusting the parameters of the models taking into account the specifics of an individual enterprise.

Multi-Vector Diversification Concept for Russian Oil and Gas Company: Prerequisistes, Trends, Opportunities

The study’s relevance is explained that nowadays, Russian oil and gas companies are under the pressure of some negative factors and circumstances that adversely affect both their activities and the national economy entirely. All this dictates the need for a thorough understanding and elaboration of the current situation for the subsequent adoption of effective measures and management decisions strategic. The purpose of the paper is to form a concept and show new promising areas for diversifying the activities of Russian oil and gas companies. The authors used theoretical tools that combine deduction methods, induction, analogy, generalization, and classification. Also, the authors applied such empirical approaches as comparison, observation, and description. As a result, the work summarized an experience and analyzed key aspects of diversification of high-tech Russian and foreign companies in an ecosystem approach to making a business. The authors planned conceptual principles and proposed a model for managing the activities of domestic oil and gas enterprises. There have been carried out the example of PJSC Gazprom, an analysis of the current organizational and economic activities of a Russian oil and gas enterprise, which gave a possibility to identify the main prerequisites and reasons for its diversification. With the help of the data obtained, new trends for the diversification of the business of domestic oil and gas companies from this sector are substantiated. That is an important strategic decision, since the economic results of these enterprises are of decisive importance for the economic stability of Russia.

Modeling the Behavior of an Agent-enterprise as part of an Artificial Society in an International Trade Network

In the work developing the methodology for creating an artificial society, agent-firms in the agent-based model are considered as elements of an international trade network, formalized in the form of a graph in which they are represented by vertices, and the edges connecting them indicate the direction and magnitude of the flow of material resources and/or services. Using PJSC Gazprom as an example, centrality indices were constructed to characterize the importance of an agent-enterprise in the natural gas trading network, as well as its vulnerability from partner countries, considering the economic weight (importance) of these partners. The indices were used to develop an algorithm for simulating agent behavior based on the theory of functional systems by P.K. Anokhin: a) for the agent to assess his position as the current level of threats, and b) for setting goals and forming a set of projects aimed at developing and protecting his business. The algorithm is configured to minimize the vulnerability (dependence on partners) of the agent-firm both from the countries consuming its products and from the transit countries transporting them.

МАТЕМАТИЧЕСКИЕ МЕТОДЫ ПРОГНОЗИРОВАНИЯ СТОИМОСТИ РЫНОЧНЫХ АКТИВОВ: ИНФОРМАЦИОННЫЙ ФОН КАК МЕДИАТОР РЫНКА

This article discusses the relationship between the tone of news articles and its impact on the share price of PJSC Gazprom. About four thousand articles related to the company were collected for the study. The resulting data was preprocessed and normalized to obtain the sentiment coefficient. Next, a ridge regression model was used to explain the percentage of stock price fluctuations due to news sentiment. To reflect the impact of news on stock prices, the analysis included a delay of one day, assuming that the news effect would affect the stock price on the next trading day. The results of the study showed a determination coefficient of 16%, which indicates a moderate relationship between the sentiment of news texts and the price of PJSC Gazprom shares.

ТРАНСФОРМАЦИЯ ПОДХОДОВ К ОЦЕНКЕ ЭФФЕКТИВНОСТИ ДЕЯТЕЛЬНОСТИ: ОПЫТ ОТЕЧЕСТВЕННЫХ КОМПАНИЙ

The article discusses the transformation of approaches to assessing operational efficiency based on the experience of oil and gas companies, in particular PJSC Gazprom Neft and its structural divisions. The reviewed oil and gas production companies pay special attention to operational efficiency as a reflection of the ability to maximize productivity and achieve the best results with the use of resources. The operational management system implemented in the company under study includes XNUMX major blocks: operational efficiency, operational reliability and operational culture. This system makes it possible to optimize production, set ambitious goals through capacity assessment planning, and create a production environment conducive to continuous improvement and elimination of losses. Gazprom Neft’s structural divisions are implementing the Future Asset programme, which includes XNUMX products, under which the Operations Director’s unit is responsible for direct operational processes in the company’s divisions, while the Technical Director’s unit is responsible for budgeting, contract management, and material resources management. This allows for an integrated approach to production management. In this case, the criteria for assessing the effectiveness of the functioning of the units are cost-effectiveness, target performance depending on the potential of the infrastructure laid down. This experience may be useful for other organizations wishing to improve their operational efficiency and sustainability.

ПРОБЛЕМЫ АНАЛИЗА ПРОЕКТОВ СОЦИАЛЬНОЙ ОТВЕТСТВЕННОСТИ БИЗНЕСА

The article highlights the problems of analyzing the social responsibility of business, which do not allow to compare and analyze both the elements of the social strategy of organizations in the same industry among themselves, and one company over a number of years. An analysis was made of the areas of social responsibility of PJSC Gazprom and PJSC Lukoil groups according to the Report on the sustainable development of corporations. The results obtained can be used to develop areas for analyzing the social responsibility of business. It is concluded that the analytical grouping of social expenses distorts the possibilities for their comparison, it is necessary to unify the grouping of expenses in such areas as charitable activities, environmental protection, industrial safety expenses, personnel development expenses. From the standpoint of checking the adequacy of the grouping of expenses by categories, it seems appropriate to develop approaches to the audit of non-financial reporting.
