Zavgorodniy R. Strategy for improving resource efficiency in the oil and gas sector of Ukraine's economy

Dissertation is devoted to the systematization of theoretical foundations and the substantiation of practical recommendations for the development of resource efficiency strategies in the oil and gas sector of Ukraine's economy. The author has improved the definition of «resource-efficient strategy» – as a long-term set of activities that provide competitive advantage, respond to changes in the external environment, rational use of resources using innovative technologies and proposes to define the «strategy of the industry» as a set of measures, targeted programs that focus on determining the priorities and directions of development of resource efficiency of the industry, ensuring its dynamic development. The author proposed the concept of forming resource-efficient strategies of the industry, which also allows diagnosing and monitoring for timely detection of effective strategies. The author investigated the trends and priorities of development of the gas and oil sectors of Ukraine and analyzed government regulation and analysis of factors determining resource needs in the oil and gas sector. We have developed a model for diagnosing resource efficiency (IRE) in the oil and gas sector of the Ukrainian economy, and price equilibrium scenarios in the oil and gas sector using the Leontief intersectoral model. An economic assessment of the consequences of resource conservation was conducted based on the IRE model.
