Structural model of decision support system for sustainable development of oil and gas companies

The article considers the issue of managerial decision-making in an oil and gas company, which is related to the class of multi-criteria choice problems. To improve the validity of decisions in the context of companies’ sustainable development it is proposed to implement a Decision Support System (DSS). A brief review of the existing methods of assessment and choice of alternatives is given. A structural model of the DSS based on the concept of a distributed problem-oriented solving network is introduced. It includes tools for extracting and processing the raw data, a module for data analysis based on ESG indicators, a visualisation subsystem and a coordinating unit. A functional model of the DSS coordinating unit that includes a logical system planner and a task planner has been developed. The hypothesis that the utilisation of the proposed DSS improves the validity of managerial decisions on the sustainable development of oil and gas companies has been statisticaly verified.
