Approach to the evaluation of "gas project" participants' interests: using a fuzzy-sets tool
The issues of how to evaluate the interests of participants of a large-scale export project on the natural gas deliveries from Siberia to the Asia-Pacific Ocean Area countries are discussed. There is a lot of gas delivery options which are not equally advantageous to Russia, different regions, companies and countries-consumers. The choice should be defined by the understanding of necessity to coordinate the activity of different regions and firms in order to become a consolidated player in the resource market. Interests of Russia and its regions substantially depend on the sort and processing stage of the product sold on the world market. The uncertainty of many parameters requires adequate methods such as a fuzzy-sets tool proposed in this article.
