Assessment of the Synergistic Effect of the Development of Resource Industries

The paper proposes a methodological approach for evaluating the synergistic effects arising from the devel-opment of the natural gas extraction business and its associated industries. The aim of the study is to develop and validate a methodological approach for formulating development strategies for resource-based industries, grounded in a comprehensive analysis of multi-level synergistic effects (at the company, related industries, regional, and national levels) and the resource cost-intensity criterion. The practical application of this approach was conducted using the Russian Arctic zone as a case study, focusing on the selection of priorities for corpo-rate investments and state support. The scientific novelty lies in the creation of a system for analyzing and as-sessing the synergistic effects of resource industry development, bridging the gap between micro and macro-economic evaluations, and in developing an algorithm for the justified selection of priority industries for gov-ernmental support. The practical aprobation of the approach, demonstrated through the natural gas extraction industry within the context of contemporary challenges, has confirmed its efficacy. The findings of this research are of considerable interest to public authorities in the formulation of development strategies for resource-dependent regions, as well as to the management of companies within the fuel and energy sector when sub-stantiating investment decisions.
