Abstract

The article examines the role of additive manufacturing as a tool for the digital transformation of the material and technical support system of energy and oil-and-gas com­panies in the context of the transition to a green economy. The purpose of the study is to sub­stantiate the possibilities of integrating additive technologies into industrial supply systems in order to reduce logistics, time, and environmental costs. In this study, primary attention is given to oil and gas companies as the most representative segment of the energy sector, for which the resilience of material and technical support, the remoteness of production facilities, high logistics costs, and the risk of equipment downtime are of particular significance. The methodological framework of the study includes an analysis of academic literature, as well as systemic-structural, abstract-logical, and economic-statistical methods, together with an examination of industry implementation cases. It has been established that the use of additive manufacturing in the material and technical support system makes it possible to localize the production of certain material and technical resources, reduce dependence on external sup­pliers, and improve the resilience of supply chains. Using the example of Russian oil-and-gas companies, it is shown that the introduction of additive technologies was accompanied by a reduction in the import share of certain components by 15–20%, and in a number of projects by up to 30%. In addition, the placement of 3D printing facilities near operational sites makes it possible to reduce by more than ten times the time costs associated with meeting demand for certain parts and components, while also lowering logistics costs, reducing waste, and minimizing the risk of equipment downtime. It is concluded that additive manufacturing is an important area of digital transformation in material and technical support, providing both economic and environmental benefits.
