Subsurface management model: interdisciplinary approach in conditions of contemporary challenges, risks and uncertainties

Abstract

<jats:p>Difficult environmental, economic, social and political conditions require an in-depth analysis of interdisciplinary relationships at industrial areas. The “Subsurface Management System” is a complex of developed subsoil resource fields characterized by geological, geomechanical and aerogasdynamic processes, and industries linked with each other through flows of energy, matter and information, integrated with civil society and environment. The flow of biogenic elements in subsurface management areas tend to increase the physical flows exporting the elements of biological product flow to the global ocean. The flows of energy in subsurface management areas in form of clean primary production of bioenvironment are changing fundamentally towards expansion of anthropogenic (man-made) factor channel by 8-12%. The flows of environmental information in subsurface management areas contain details about compliance of the environmental conditions with biological regelation. The introduced original term “subsurface management system” accounts for distribution of flows of energy, matter and information between the system components, enabling objective analysis of effective performance of the system and its compliance with sustainable development strategy of industrial areas.</jats:p>
