The article analyzes the technical and regulatory restrictions that complicate the production of hydrocarbons at the final stage of operation, as well as the directions of resource and innovative development of the fuel and energy complex in the context of sanctions and restrictions in the development of national priorities. The features of regulatory regulation of legislation and indicators of digital transformation for previously developed fields and the preservation of hydrocarbon markets, the development of national economies in the long term, taking into account the widespread use of intelligent technologies and digital platforms, are considered. Taking into account the advantages of technology, it is strongly recommended to implement a project of digitalization of oil and gas wells using fiber-optic technologies. This will allow the creation of intelligent wells and deposits, which, with limited financial resources, will ensure an increase in recoverable reserves of gas and oil production by at least 10% during operation, will reduce the downtime of wells by about 50% from the initial level and will reduce operating costs by 10-25%.

The article considers the formation of a digital gas ecosystem based on platform solutions and integrated scientific and technical programs and projects of a full innovation cycle. The article reveals modern aspects of the creation and implementation of digital gas production technologies. The issues of digital modernization of gas production in the context of reducing the carbon footprint are outlined. The main problems in the implementation of digital modernization of the gas industry are identified: an acute shortage of personnel with digital competencies in the field of gas production, including specialists in opticalization, multi-sensorization, supercomputing, cybersecurity and petrorobotics. The humanitarian aspects of the introduction of strong artificial intelligence systems and petrorobotics of gas production are emphasized, in particular, the issues of retraining engineering and technical personnel for new digital specialties. It was revealed that in the gas industry, in the context of reducing the carbon footprint, it is planned to use fiber optic technologies, multi-sensor monitoring of gas production, digital twins of gas facilities, and hybrid artificial intelligence in decision-making.
The countries of the European Union (EU) are planning a transition to a low-carbon economy, which implies a decrease in interest in the oil and gas industry. However, oil and gas companies are increasing investments in artificial intelligence systems, which are becoming a central element of the oil and gas market. Digitalization of processes consists in the transformation of the entire production cycle based on the introduction of intelligent technologies, big data, supercomputerization, opticalization and robotization, which leads to a massive and large-scale change of business and production models, the best of which are transferred to the entire oil and gas ecosystem. The result of the work is a reduction in costs, extension of service life and profitability of production.
The article reveals the experience of creating digital control systems to improve the efficiency of the gas transport system. Digital modernization of the Unified Gas Supply System of Russia based on innovative developments, domestic software and hardware and digital competencies of engineering and technical personnel increases the competitiveness of the digital gas economy. Integrated objects of the Unified Gas Supply System are information, processes, personnel and organizational structures. The strategy for the development of a Unified Gas Supply system is aimed at introducing innovative approaches to the formation of a new base of regulatory documents on technical regulation and standardization. The digital gas transport management system increases operational efficiency and reduces costs at all stages of the life cycle of a Unified Gas Supply System.
The use of digitalization and artificial intelligence (AI) methods in the oil and gas industry is a tool for ensuring economic efficiency, preserving competencies and human potential, contributes to the growth of the resource base, the implementation of design regimes and the extension of production at the final stage of operation of oil and gas fields. The driver of digitalization of the oil and gas industry is fierce competition in the global gas market and in the future only companies that are seriously and permanently engaged in investing in fundamental and applied research in the field of digital modernization of production will develop. The complex project «Digital and technological modernization of the world’s largest West Siberian Gas Production Center» has been prepared on the basis of the Strategy of Scientific and Technological Development of the Russian Federation; it corresponds to the priorities and goals of state policy in the implementation of comprehensive scientific and technical programs of the full innovation cycle and involves the creation of highly efficient key components of the unified intellectual field line based on technologies that ensure economic and technological independence of digital production and creation of high-tech products and services in demand in the domestic and foreign gas markets. Keywords: program; information; innovation; transformation; cycle; modernization; economy; digital platform; oil and gas field.
The storage of methane-hydrogen mixtures (MHM) in existing underground gas storage facilities (UGS) is a prerequisite for the development of a "carbonneutral" strategy of the Russian Federation. The use of technologies for storage and delivery of MHM in industrial volumes should be ensured by experimental research, the creation of a regulatory framework and the introduction of modern methods for maintaining the operational reliability of the existing Unified Gas Transportation System (UGSS). The need for scientific and project work is determined by the peculiarities of the storage of MHM and the assessment of the likelihood of negative technogenic and mechanical consequences during the operation of the equipment. The materials provide the main risk models of the processes that arise in the case of hybrid storage of MHM. The use of cluster technology for storage and transportation of MHM is proposed, and the need to ensure constant monitoring of the component composition of gas as part of the implementation of an integrated automated flow technology is shown. Keywords: methane-hydrogen mixtures; hydrogen energy; underground gas storage; hardware control; risks.

Summary The novelty of the implemented solutions lies in the improvement of drilling technologies based on the application of modeling algorithms and finding the optimal network configuration to perform a reliable forecast based on the artificial neural network model. Without comprehensive automation, it is impossible to reduce the role of personnel, which implies the robotization of part of the drilling process and technologies of descent operations. The presented concept of a geographically distributed system of intelligent monitoring and management is easily adaptable to various technological processes when working in emergency situations due to information support of construction processes. The introduction of technologies provides a reduction in operating costs, an increase in gas and oil production of about 10% and a reduction in well downtime of at least 50 % from the classic technologies of drilling, construction and operation in remote fields.
