The state and development of the economy and culture of the country in modern conditions of scientific - technical progress are largely determined by the growth rate of the most important sectors of the economy, especially fuel, in which an increasing role takes gas industry. However, the fuel industry of Russia in the pace of its development is lagging behind a number of large toplivopotreblenie industries despite the rapid increase in the production of fuel with an annual investment in the energy industry about 30% of all capital investments in the industry of the country. Currently almost 80% of the fuel consumed in the European parts of the country and the Urals, and only about 20% in the Eastern regions, in which the main reserves of fuel. When the current territorial ratio in fuel consumption, in the location of industrial production and population energy balance of the European part of Russia is becoming more tense. In order to meet increasing demand of fuel and the elimination of the deficit are huge work aimed at increasing production of fuel, the reduction of specific fuel consumption, the improvement of technology and the use of fuel produced more cheaply, including liquid and gaseous. However, the use of fuels, including gaseous, in many industrial processes is of low efficiency. The average efficiency of fuel utilization in the national economy of Russia is clearly insufficient and does not exceed 35-40%, which is one of the reasons for this deficit in the European part of Russia. Therefore, improving the efficiency of fuel utilization is one of the urgent problems of science and practice. Economic value of improving the efficiency of fuel utilization is evident from the fact that at the present level of consumption savings of only 1% of the fuel is equal to about 15 million tons of equivalent fuel per year. This fuel economy is identical to the increase of the g value of its production, not to mention the fact that its implementation will lead to lower production costs and to improve equipment performance. Therefore, the goal is increasing the efficiency of use of fuel. If the decline in the consumption of solid fuels by about 5-10% is quite real, the reserves of natural gas savings is much higher. The increase in the share of natural gas in the fuel resources of the country, its wide application in industry, the lack of ash and sulphur in the natural gas and the purity of its products of combustion creates favorable conditions for improve the efficiency of natural gas use, with capital the attachments that are much smaller than necessary for the extraction amount of the replaced fuels, equivalent to saving gas. Hence there is an urgent need to improve the efficiency of use of fuel, primarily natural gas, in order to ensure the needs of all sectors of the economy in fuel.
