Forecasting Energy Efficient Development of Gas Industry in Region

Abstract

In the study, the energy efficient development of the gas industry in the region is in essence a mater of finding options for developing the gas industry (GP) and the regional economy in the context of the set of indicators proposed by the author. The set of indicators includes: socio-economic criteria, reflecting the growth of the well-being of the population and the potential of the region’s economy; energy indicators characterizing the efficiency of the gas industry’s branches of gas production, processing, transportation and supply, as well as rational use of all types of energy resources. The author developed the industry model of the gas industry as part of the regional economy model and proposed a methodological tool for forecasting various energy consumption options and increasing energy efficiency in gas production, processing and transportation. Modeling tools for forecasting the energy efficiency of the gas industry in the region can be used by regional authorities to make management decisions in improving energy efficiency and security in the region. The proposed model was tested on the statistical material of the Tyumen region.
