The scientifically-based classification of costs provides the formation of relevant information about the size, structure and content of the organization’s costs. The need to classify freight forwarding costs is due to the requirements of searching for reserves to minimize the costs of selling products (services).

The article considers the relevance of the problem of assessing the gross value added created by enterprises belonging to the oil and gas sector of the Russian Federation. There is no unified system of statistical indicators in the world that determine the boundaries and characterize the economy of the oil and gas complexes of the countries of the world.
