Abstract

The purpose of this work is to assess the economic feasibility of using quantum computing and algorithms in the business processes of the oil and gas industry. A review of materials on the use of quantum algorithms for optimization has been conducted, on the basis of which hypotheses about operational efficiency have been formulated and an indicative forecast of economic effects has been made. The proposed report will allow companies to predict potential economic effects in order to further justify the inclusion of quantum computing in innovative development programs.
