The topic of the "resource curse" has been undeservedly pushed into the background in Russian economic science, although at one time it did not receive a clear explanation, the main questions remained open. At the same time, the country's economic development slowed down, the technology sector degraded, and the fuel and energy sector stopped providing the country with the previous energy transfer. In this paper, the author verifies the problem of the "resource curse" on the example of the Russian economic model and also reveals the Russian features of this phenomenon, the main of which is the long-term devaluation of the national currency against the background of the growth of the fuel and energy complex and the service sector.

The author proposes a modernized model of the "resource curse", which substantiates the economic facts theoretically noted in Russia.

Keywords: resource curse; Dutch disease; macroeconomics; economic growth; growth factors; economic model; economics; globalization; energy; oil; gas; world trade; world economy model.

The paper discusses the instruments for accounting and control of personnel working time, as well as rationing of personnel headcount. The timesheet was studied as a source of information about the working time costs of employees, the losses of working time and the effectiveness of the personnel usage. The timesheet is considered not only as an instrument of accurate accounting of working time and employees’ control, but also as a tool for analyzing the complexity of tasks and profitability of projects, as well as a sources of systematized information for rationing and identifying reserves for further optimization. The methods of rationing are considered, the possibilities of their application in current economic conditions are analyzed, taking into account the limitations caused by the remote nature of work, the outdated regulatory framework, the lack of qualified experts in the field of rationing and other reasons. Benchmarking is studied as one of the modern methods of headcount rationing. The approaches to working time accounting and rationing presented in this paper can be used by the companies of various industries to improve their efficiency and competitiveness in the current economic environment.

The paper analyzes the specifics of using the shift method of labor organization by oil and gas companies in the Far North conditions. Along with its obvious advantages in comparison with traditional forms of labor activity, such as more effective interregional mobile use of labor contingents and specialists of the required qualifications, the ability to attract specialists from labor-surplus regions, and the economic benefit of companies by reducing the cost of all types of resources, there are also disadvantages. At the same time, specialists who study biological and medical problems in the Far North note the negative aspects of the shift-expedition method that affect human health. Based on the conducted surveys among shift workers, the problems of the shift method, satisfaction with working and rest conditions and the state of the moral and psychological state were identified. Based on the results of the study of the conditions of employees shift labor organization, measures to improve this method are proposed, and tools that allow influencing the psycho-economic characteristics of the shift team are developed.

Keywords: the Arctic zone; oil and gas companies; shift method of labor organization; medical and biological problems of shift personnel; assessment of working conditions and rest of shift personnel.

The paper considers the term of engineering, classification of engineering, engineering services, engineering companies. The authors have proposed to use an eight-phase functional diagram of engineering by stages of the project life cycle to classify engineering companies per the structure and content of their activities. In particular, an example of classification of nine engineering companies providing services in the oil and gas industry is given, based on the analysis of the structure and scope of their activities. In the opinion of the authors, this approach to classification of engineering companies makes it possible to classify more clearly engineering companies in conditions of uncertainty and development of the pure notion of "engineering". This approach to classification may be used both for theoretical and practical purposes to study development of engineering services market, for benchmarking, comparative analysis of companies, and determination of the development strategy.

Keywords: engineering; engineering services; engineering market; oil and gas industry; engineering companies; engineering classification.

The paper considers the key aspects of the economic plan-of fact analysis of the investment program of an oil and gas production enterprise using digital transformation methods. The main approaches to the application of the graphic-analytical model of the system for monitoring the implementation of the investment program for capital construction and reconstruction are proposed, using the example of LLC "LUKOIL-Western Siberia". Examples of methods applied for calculating changes in labor productivity factors and the absolute construction period are considered. On the example of a linear object, the calculation of the planned construction volumes of the investment program within the framework of the year is considered. An example of the analysis of technical and economic indicators of the implementation of the investment program plan is given.

The practical need for subsequent, current and future analytical developments is determined by the level of an enterprise economies development. The study of internal and external factors is one of the prerequisites for ensuring financial results. In the course of the study, the obtained results of calculating the graphical analytical model make it possible to organize an information database for developing long-term plans and choosing the most optimal management decisions.

Keywords: planned indicators; investment program; digitalization; economic analysis; AIP (adjustment of the investment program); construction period; graphic-analytical model; capital construction and reconstruction; labor productivity.

The purpose of the research is analysis and characteristic of "portfolio of interrelations" of petroleum company "Rosneft". The research is very urgent because Russia implements many international oil-and-gas projects. The object of research is petroleum company "Rosneft". The subject of the research is international "portfolio of interrelations" of JSC "Rosneft". International interrelations of JSC "Rosneft" are extensive and diverse. In particular, JSC "Rosneft" cooperates with Venezuelan state petroleum company PdVS.A. The regularities of formation and development of "portfolio of interrelations" were studied. The international strategy of JSC "Rosneft" is "forestalling" and "adapting". The "portfolio of interrelations" model brings into concord different streams. A branch’s feature of the "upstream" sector in contrast to "downstream" one is using all of forms of alliances. Petroleum alliances make "triangles of countries" and "triangles of interrelations" in global networks of making cost. They form polygonal model of "portfolio of interrelations" and "flatness of interrelations" between countries and alliances. The paper characterizes the structure of “portfolio of interrelations”, determines the criteria of assessment of efficiency and quality of international relations and factors of influences on the quality and potential of interrelations.

Keywords: vertically integrated petroleum companies (VIPC); international strategic alliance (ISA); portfolio of international interrelations; model of "portfolio of interrelations"; triangle of interrelations; flatness of interrelations; polygonal model of "portfolio of interrelations"; criterions of estimation of interrelation’s effectiveness and quality; potential of interrelations.
