ABSTRACT
The research topic related to investments in the processing sector of the oil and gas complex of the Republic of Kazakhstan is a hot topic, since this industry is one of the key sectors of the country’s economy and plays an important role in the country’s economic development. However, it needs modern technologies and new investments to improve its efficiency. Without constant investment and modernization of production, the industry may become less competitive and unable to fulfil its role in economic development. The purpose of this work is to study the current state of the oil and gas industry and identify the potential for attracting investment. The research employed various methods, including analytical, statistical, functional, system analysis, deduction, comparison, and synthesis methods. In the process of conducting the study, the current situation in the processing sector of the oil and gas industry in the Republic of Kazakhstan was analysed, including its structure, main players and existing investment projects. The market situation in the oil refining market in the Republic of Kazakhstan was studied and the prospects for this industry were assessed. The investment climate in the country and its attractiveness for investors, especially for investments in the processing sector of the oil and gas industry, have been studied. Promising projects in the processing sector of the oil and gas industry in Republic of Kazakhstan have been identified and include their cost, risks and potential profitability. The social and environmental impacts of investing in the Republic of Kazakhstan’s oil and gas industry have also been studied, including issues of employment, environmental sustainability and social responsibility. The practical value lies in the use of the identified results, solving issues related to investing in the processing sector of the oil and gas complex in order to bring this process to a new level.

wpływ na środowisko, modernizacja produkcji, klimat inwestycyjny, warunki rynkowe, perspektywy rozwoju
Temat badań dotyczący inwestycji w sektorze przetwórczym kompleksu naftowo-gazowego Republiki Kazachstanu jest gorącym tematem, ponieważ ten przemysł jest jednym z kluczowych sektorów gospodarki kraju i odgrywa ważną rolę w jego rozwoju gospodarczym. Niemniej jednak potrzebuje nowoczesnych technologii i nowych inwestycji, aby poprawić swoją wydajność. Bez ciągłych inwestycji i modernizacji produkcji przemysł może stać się mniej konkurencyjny i niezdolny do wypełniania swojej roli w rozwoju gospodarczym. Celem tej pracy jest zbadanie obecnego stanu przemysłu naftowo-gazowego i określenie potencjału przyciągania inwestycji. W badaniach zastosowano różne metody, w tym analityczne, statystyczne, funkcjonalne, analizy systemowe, dedukcyjne, porównawcze oraz metody syntezy. W trakcie badań przeanalizowano obecną sytuację w sektorze przetwórczym przemysłu naftowo-gazowego w Republice Kazachstanu, w tym jego strukturę, głównych graczy i istniejące projekty inwestycyjne. Zbadano sytuację rynkową na rynku rafinacji ropy naftowej w Republice Kazachstanu oraz oceniono perspektywy tego przemysłu. Przestudiowano klimat inwestycyjny w kraju i jego atrakcyjność dla inwestorów, zwłaszcza w kontekście inwestycji w sektor przetwórczy przemysłu naftowo-gazowego. Zidentyfikowano obiecujące projekty w sektorze przetwórczym przemysłu naftowo-gazowego w Republice Kazachstanu, ich koszty, ryzyka i potencjalną rentowność. Przeanalizowano także społeczne i środowiskowe skutki inwestycji w przemysł naftowo-gazowy Republiki Kazachstanu, w tym kwestie zatrudnienia, zrównoważonego rozwoju środowiskowego i odpowiedzialności społecznej. Wartość praktyczna polega na wykorzystaniu uzyskanych wyników do rozwiązania kwestii związanych z inwestycjami w sektorze przetwórczym kompleksu naftowo-gazowego, aby wynieść ten proces na nowy poziom.
