This article is about developing operational costs model. It is possible to use operational cost model on the different stages of project with differing degrees of uncertainty and risks. Strong correlation of capital and operational cost models gives opportunity to make comprehensive cost assessment with high degree of detalization.
Methodology analysis shows substantial deficit of multivariable evaluation of operational costs at the concept stage. There is no special software of operational cost evaluation in the market, which takes into account special aspects of oil and gas industry. Current methodology and cost tools can be characterized as labor-intensive process or inadequate level of accuracy. Thus Gazpromneft develops operational cost model with methodological recommendation and structured database of cost and technical parameters.
Today Gazprom Neft develops unique approaches and tools in the industry. New methods and tools give opportunity to make cost estimation with high level of detalization. Implemented operational cost model in close cooperation of the capital cost model allows comprehensive assessment of the technical and technological solutions during concept design.
In order to carry out cost model in the relevant condition, there is necessary to achieve a high level of automation. For this reason, Gazprom Neft decided to implement cost model on special IT platform. For now the future product framework has already selected. It will be web-application with cloud storage. This solution allows working with this software in online access.
