The purpose of the study is to develop an integrated approach to creating a mechanism for the formation of an effective business-model for an oilfield service company, which allows it to be competitive in the medium and long term. Conceptual approaches to the construction of business-models are identified and analyzed. The specific factors of the oilfield services market are shown that must be considered when building the business-model of the oilfield services company.
