Fundamentals of analytical support for choosing a model of innovation in the field of pipeline transport
The article discusses the problem of innovative development of such a strategically important infrastructure sector of the Russian economy as pipeline transport. The purpose of the study is to determine the features of existing technologies in pipeline transport and the possibility of applying foreign experience in Russian PPP practice. With the methods of analysis, synthesis, systematization, modeling, the authors of this article conducted a study of the current state of fixed assets and applied technologies in the field of oil pipeline transport, which made it possible to identify the main problems standing in the way of innovation in this strategic sector of the economy, as well as to analyze innovative activities in the pipeline transport sector. As a result, the features of innovative activity in the field of pipeline transport are identified and characterized. The types of technological innovations in pipeline transport are determined. The analysis of the functionally-oriented and project-based approaches to innovation, models of closed and open innovations in the field of pipeline transport is carried out. The authors identify significant limitations that have arisen on the way to introducing an open innovation model in the Russian oil and gas sector, which objectively makes a choice in favor of a closed innovation model. The conducted analysis of the effectiveness of innovation models helped to determine the need to search for new routes and methods of transportation of hydrocarbons.
