Abstract:
The article presents the results of a study on the development of
the petrochemical industry, which is part of the structure of the fuel and
energy complex of Kazakhstan. The development of the petrochemical
industry of the country is carried out through the creation of a
petrochemical cluster and the construction of plants for the production of
petrochemical products (polyethylene, butadiene, polypropylene,
polyethylene terephthalate), which are geographically located in the
western region of the country, where the main hydrocarbon reserves are
concentrated, large oil and gas production enterprises operate, there are
necessary infrastructure facilities. Forecast indicators of the development
of petrochemistry, technical and economic characteristics of petrochemical
projects are given. Information is presented on the development of the
petrochemical cluster and the organization of the production of each
petrochemical product separately. The authors carried out forecast
calculations for import substitution and export in the implementation of
petrochemical development projects in Kazakhstan. The purpose of the
article is to conduct a predictive analysis of the development of the
petrochemical industry in Kazakhstan, since this branch of the national
economy is still at the stage of formation.
