The development of reasonable management decisions in the process of operational dispatch control of the modes of the Unified Gas Supply System (UGSS) requires predicting changes of external factors affecting the UGSS functioning. The most important external factor is the volume of gas consumption. On the basis of forecasts for the gas supply to consumers, dispatching tasks are formed for gas transmission, gas producing companies, for underground gas storage facilities. At the same time, due to the large length of the gas transmission system (GTS) and the technological features of production facilities, the response time of the entire GTS to a change in the operational situation can take several days. For this reason, the accuracy of forecasting internal gas consumption for the UGSS GTS as the main expense item of the balance sheet is a key condition for making the right management decisions in the operational dispatch control of the UGSS GTS.
