MANAGEMENT AND IDENTIFICATION OF RISKS AT GAS TRANSPORT ENTERPRISES

Abstract

Today, for underground storage of natural gas and ensuring uninterrupted supply of natural gas to consumers, gas transportation companies use gas pumping equipment with special operational properties and technical characteristics, which works by burning natural gas and occupies 85-90% of energy costs in the company's cost structure. The further development of the enterprise and ensuring the competitiveness of this industry is largely related to the management of energy consumption and decisions on the implementation of energy efficiency measures aimed at fulfilling such tasks as optimizing the energy balance, minimizing the consumption of energy resources, optimizing energy efficiency, and protecting the natural environment. This work examines the main stages of the risk management process for enterprises of the gas transportation system of Ukraine. Emphasis is placed on the identification of risks taking into account strategic goals, limited resources and risks, which will allow the selection of projects, taking into account: the variety of tasks planned to be solved at gas transport enterprises; planning the implementation of measures in different time intervals (taking into account the priority of implementation), agreement and coordination at all levels of management, possible risks, as well as financing mechanisms. Aspects of risk management during the implementation of energy-saving measures at the gas transport enterprise are considered. A list of critical risks has been identified, an assessment of the causes of risks has been carried out, measures for their management have been simulated. The practical application of such a model significantly increases the possibility of choosing the best package of energy-saving measures for implementation.
