В настоящее время цифровые технологии стремительно развиваются и во всех странах мира цифровизация является основным направлением трансформации экономических процессов. Нефтегазовая сфера является одной из самых капиталоёмких и технологически сложных направлений деятельности, но в то же время обеспечивает устойчивое развитие компаний в условиях высокой волатильности рынков и ограниченности природных ресурсов. Целью исследования является анализ особенностей и перспектив цифровизации нефтегазовой отрасли Узбекистана на примере АО «Узбекнефтегаз». В работе использованы методы исторической периодизации, сравнительного и системного анализа, а также качественного категориального анализа. Эмпирическая база включает официальные данные АО «Узбекнефтегаз» за 2021–2024 гг., материалы Национального статистического комитета Узбекистана, а также результаты пилотных цифровых проектов в отрасли. Результаты исследования показывают, что за 2021–2024 гг. добыча природного газа сократилась на 17,4% (с 33,9 до 28,0 млрд. м³), а добыча нефти – на 40,7% (с 116,1 до 68 тыс. тонн), при одновременном росте производства дизельного топлива на 53,5% (с 391,9 до 601,4 тыс. тонн) и авиационного керосина на 60,3% (с 126,7 до 203,1 тыс. тонн).  Полученные результаты исследования свидетельствуют, что процесс цифровизации в AО «Узбекнефтегаз» проходят поэтапно, в результате которой наблюдаются сокращение ручного труда, повышение прозрачности операций, повышение учёта добычи в реальном времени. В дальнейших исследованиях необходимо уделить внимание анализу и предложению комплекса мер по совершенствованию законодательства, стандартизации IoT и ИИ.

Currently, digital technologies are developing rapidly and digitalization is the main direction of transformation of economic processes in all countries of the world.  The oil and gas sector is one of the most capital-intensive and technologically complex areas of activity, but at the same time ensures the sustainable development of companies in conditions of high market volatility and limited natural resources. The purpose of the study is to analyze the features and prospects of digitalization of the oil and gas industry in Uzbekistan using the example of Uzbekneftegaz JSC. The paper uses methods of historical periodization, comparative and systematic analysis, as well as qualitative categorical analysis. The empirical base includes the official data of Uzbekneftegaz JSC for 2021-2024, materials from the National Statistical Committee of Uzbekistan, as well as the results of pilot digital projects in the industry. The results of the study show that in 2021-2024, natural gas production decreased by 17.4% (from 33.9 to 28.0 billion m3), and oil production by 40.7% (from 116.1 to 68 thousand tons), while the production of diesel fuel increased by 53.5% (from 391.9 to 601.4 thousand tons) and aviation kerosene by 60.3% (from 126.7 to 203.1 thousand tons).  The results of the study indicate that the digitalization process in Uzbekneftegaz JSC is taking place in stages, which there is a reduction in manual labor, increased transparency of operations, and increased real-time production accounting. In further research, it is necessary to pay attention to the analysis and proposal of a set of measures to improve legislation, standardize IoT and AI.
