Abstract: The article explores the impact of digital transformation on the processes associated with industrial facilities in the oil and gas sector, with the aim of enhancing their efficiency. The object of the study is the economic entities involved in the operation of an oil and gas field, while the focus is on the integration of advanced digital technologies — such as the Internet of Things, building information modeling (BIM), additive manufacturing, robotics, and artificial intelligence —across the entire life cycle of industrial facilities. The application of digital tools is examined at various life cycle stages, from conceptual design through facility commissioning to decommissioning. The article outlines the stages of the field development life cycle — "Design," "Field Development," and "Decommissioning"— and provides a detailed breakdown of the "Design" and "Field Development" phases. A matrix linking digital technologies to specific life cycle stages of oil and gas field development has been formed, serving as the foundation for constructing an ontology of facility development. Based on this framework, the authors propose recommendations to support the digital transformation of economic entities involved in oil and gas field development, presented in the form of a strategic roadmap.
