Abstract: The paper proposes a new approach to the analysis of the vulnerability of fuel supply to regions that consume natural gas when critical facilities (CFs) of the gas industry stop operating. The feature distinguishing this approach from the known ones is that it simultaneously considers indices of a natural gas share in the structure of regional fuel and energy balance and configuration of the main gas pipeline network that serves the regions. This approach involves specialized multi-iterative studies, which have made it possible for the first time to identify the gas industry facilities that are critical for gas supply to the regions. Investigation of various shutdown options for these facilities determines the regions, which are most susceptible to natural gas shortages in the event of emergencies in the gas industry.
