Analysis of the functioning of the regional oil and gas chemical complex and the formation of the region's resource potential

Abstract

The Russian economy as a material base of the ongoing social reorganization is a complex set of industries, among which a special place belongs to industry. Industry is the leading branch of material production. It has a decisive influence on the development of productive forces and production relations. The development of industry promotes the rational allocation of productive forces, the comprehensive development of the economy of regions and the country, the expedient use of natural resources. The regional oil and gas chemical complex (RNK) of the industry is understood as the aggregate of economic entities - enterprises, firms, organizations and industries associated with exploration, production, transportation, processing, storage and sale of hydrocarbon raw materials, mineral resources and products obtained as a result of their processing, united by one operational basis of activity - the region where they are located and operate. Economic entities as structural elements of the regional oil and gas chemical complex are the main forms of the territorial organization of the productive forces and, acting as subsystems of the regional petrochemical complex, together constitute a complex structure of the complex, ensuring its integrity and stability under various transformations of the system under the influence of market factors of the external and internal environment. The structure of the regional petrochemical complex is understood as the composition, the quantitative ratio and the forms of interconnection of enterprises producing hydrocarbon raw materials and mineral resources and producing oil and gas chemical products in the region. The complexity of the RNA structure is expressed not only and not so much by the multiplicity of constituent elements, as by the diversity of their interrelations and, what is especially important, by the difference in their role in the organization and functioning of the complex as a whole. Directions for the development of the regional petrochemical complex are directly dependent on the resource availability of the region's territory, the level of their development, the amount of explored reserves, the volumes of extraction and rationality of use. The development and justification of the priority areas for the development of the petrochemical complex of the region for individual industries, industries and enterprises, based on the assessment of the efficiency of the use of the territory's resources, is an important element in determining the development vector of the social and economic system of the region as a whole.
