The article examines, through empirical and comparative analysis, the impact of implementing digital technologies
in Uzbekistan’s oil and gas industry on economic efficiency, operational safety, and management responsiveness. For the
2020–2024 period, dynamic changes in production indicators, operating costs, energy and resource consumption, and
labor productivity were assessed. Using examples such as Digital Field, SCADA/IoT monitoring systems, smart meters,
and digital pipeline management, a cost–benefit analysis of technological modernization was conducted. The results
indicate that digital transformation processes enhance economic efficiency, reduce instability and production losses, and
promote compliance with environmental standards.
