The technical and economic efficiency of an autonomous oil and gas field on land is associated with a reduction in capital investments due to the use of innovative technical solutions on an autonomous well cluster and in field equipment, with a reduction in operating costs due to optimization of technical processes, a complete reduction in the number of employees at hazardous jobs, with the transfer of personnel to remote operation management and a multiple reduction in the frequency of maintenance equipment. Some of the new components of the autonomous oil field are ready on the market; some of them need to be developed internally or in partnership with scientific institutes and manufacturing plants. The amount of capital investments of an autonomous well cluster of a conventional (classical) and autonomous field is higher due to the fact that many ground objects from the field move directly to the well cluster site, it becomes larger in area, but technical solutions form a complex, including the installation of sensors and the transmission of information to the operator center remotely for more prompt decision-making solutions. The amount of capital investments in general for an autonomous field is reduced due to a different scheme of organization of facilities at the field and the use of various technical solutions. When analyzing the possibility of using any technology, each of them is evaluated in terms of a positive and negative impact on the project of development and operation of deposits – both greenfield and brownfield. Capital investments and the schedule for the implementation of the autonomous project are adjusted taking into account the real market and the specifics of the technical and economic assessment. A comparison of capital investments and operating costs in a conditional project for the development and operation of a classical and autonomous oil and gas field allows obtaining the technical and economic efficiency of solutions.
