Abstract
Digital transformation is rapidly reshaping the global energy sector, forcing the complex oil and gas industry to extensively integrate modern information solutions to remain competitive. While general digital frameworks exist, specific scientific methodologies and localized practical frameworks addressing management efficiency within gas extraction and processing enterprises remain insufficiently explored. Focusing on "Muborak gazni qayta ishlash zavodi MCHJ" as the primary research object, a comparative system analysis was conducted evaluating operational performance datasets from 2014–2018 (pre-digitalization) against 2020–2024 (post-digitalization). The technical and economic efficiency of cross-layer implementations—including SCADA, DCS, ERP, and IoT technologies—was evaluated across specific control, safety, and energy parameters. Digital infrastructure integration established a highly responsive four-layer corporate management model via a unified data architecture. Expanding control points by 567% (from 214 to 1,428) reduced real-time data update intervals by 98% (down to 1–5 seconds) and emergency detection times by 87%. Furthermore, unplanned facility shutdowns dropped by 71% (from 31 to 9 incidents annually), while operational energy losses fell by 43%. An integrated information architecture was successfully verified, linking automated field operations with Business Intelligence and Oracle centralized data repositories to automate reporting, mitigate human-related errors, and streamline managerial decision-making. This proven digital integration paradigm offers a highly scalable model for the wider oil and gas industry, demonstrating that transitioning to a unified, data-driven environment directly optimizes resource allocation, mitigates operational downtime, and secures long-term market competitiveness.
