A.A. Afanasyev
In terms of statistical criteria, the proposed production functions
of gas sector operations regarding the activities in entire Tyumen region and by Gazprom's
subsidiaries appears to adequately describe gas production processes which are essentially
predictable. There are good applications available for production economics analysis, planning,
and forecasting – with all such areas believed to be useful for both related government
authorities and domestic oil and gas companies including Gazprom. In particular, such functions
can be applied to development of Russia's new energy strategy and gas industry investment
programmes.
