At present, in the context of sanction restrictions and increasing uncertainty in the global energy market, the theoretical and practical aspects of the economic efficiency of investment projects in the gas industry are of fundamental importance and require further development. The article discusses the theoretical foundations of the category “economic efficiency” and methodological approaches to its assessment on the example of investment projects in the gas industry. A comparative analysis of the standard methodology for determining economic efficiency of capital investments and the methodological recommendations for evaluating the effectiveness of investment projects in the planned and market economics has been performed based on the criteria specified by the authors. A review of published studies on methods for assessing economic efficiency of investment projects in the oil and gas sector has been performed. It is concluded that to assess the efficiency of investments is proposed to use the discounted cash flow method as the main approach, as well as the alternative methods in the papers of Russian authors. Two large-scale projects of the Russian gas industry have been considered, a review of published studies on the efficiency assessment has been performed with emphasis on the external effects due to implementation of the projects under consideration. According to the study results, the uniqueness of the implementation conditions of each gas transportation project, fundamental importance of the influence of non-economic factors on the project implementation and the need to develop assessment methods for the economic efficiency of investment projects were noted with due regard to the uncertainty and risk impact.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p style="text-align: justify;">Эффективность внутренних и экспортных поставок природного газа во многом определяет устойчивое развитие российской экономики и обеспечение национальной безопасности страны. В настоящее время, в условиях санкционных ограничений и возрастающей неопределенности на мировом рынке энергоресурсов, теоретические и практические аспекты экономической эффективности инвестиционных проектов в газовой отрасли приобретают принципиальное значение и требуют дальнейшего развития. Рассмотрены теоретические основы категории «экономическая эффективность» и методические подходы к ее оценке на примере инвестиционных проектов газовой отрасли. Проведен сравнительный анализ типовой методики определения экономической эффективности капитальных вложений и методических рекомендаций по оценке эффективности инвестиционных проектов в плановой и рыночной экономиках на основе выделенных авторами критериев. Выполнен обзор опубликованных исследований о методах оценки экономической эффективности инвестиционных проектов в нефтегазовом секторе. Сделан вывод о том, что в работах российских авторов для определения эффективности инвестиций предлагается использовать метод дисконтированных денежных потоков как основной, а также альтернативные методы. Рассмотрены два крупномасштабных проекта газовой отрасли России, выполнен обзор опубликованных исследований по оценке эффективности; выделены внешние эффекты от реализации рассматриваемых проектов. По результатам проведенного исследования отмечены уникальность условий реализации каждого газотранспортного проекта, принципиальное значение влияния внеэкономических факторов на реализацию проекта и необходимость совершенствования методов оценки экономической эффективности инвестиционных проектов с учетом неопределенности и риска.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>economic efficiency</kwd><kwd>investment project</kwd><kwd>Russian gas industry</kwd><kwd>export gas pipeline</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>экономическая эффективность</kwd><kwd>инвестиционный проект</kwd><kwd>газовая отрасль России</kwd><kwd>экспортный газопровод</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><funding-statement xml:lang="en">This paper has been supported by the RUDN University Strategic Academic Leadership Program.
