Data management is the whole new level of production process management and making managerial decisions based on data analysis performed by information (IT) systems. A characteristic feature of recent developments in digital and intelligent petroleum fields is the introduction of information and communication technologies throughout the production cycle. Application of digital tools enables progressive, competitive business development and lays the foundations for digital economy development. The digital economy is the basis for creation of whole new business models, capable of setting a new paradigm for the development of the state, economy and the entire society. Within the scope of TATNEFT innovation strategy the Company IT sector has faced the task of data consolidation in a common information space and teaching the systems to interact with each other at levels well beyond data analysis; particularly, provision of recommendations, contingency warning and managerial decision making. For this purpose, reengineering of production processes using modern IT solutions is currently underway. A project aimed at creation of a corporate information system for comprehensive automation of business and production processes in well construction (AIS Drilling) was implemented. Under the scope of this project well construction processes were imported to the common digital space. In particular, the process of well design selection based on the analysis of collected data and well design principles with account of inherent field characteristics was automated. The AIS Drilling is implemented on Russian 1C: Enterprise platform eliminating the dependence on foreign software tools
