Oil and gas resources are a non-renewable type of raw material, as a result of which we can talk about their exhaustibility and limitation. The reserves explored so far are limited in volume, many de-posits are at the stage of depletion, which predetermines the need for their careful and rational re-source-saving use. The problems of integrated and rational use of natural resources in order to in-crease their efficiency and reduce the burden on the environment have acquired particular significance in environmental and economic development. Today, contradictions have arisen between limited re-source capabilities and the growing needs of society. Extracted resources are used with low utility. The remaining part is waste, which occupies significant areas; participate in the process of alienation of highly fertile lands; Due to the content of toxic compounds, they cause irreparable harm to the envi-ronment and human health. Industrial production at the present stage is developing at an accelerated pace, as a result of which the need for raw materials is constantly increasing. In conditions of resource limitations of non-renewable raw materials, which include hydrocarbons, there is an urgent need for their rational use. Taking into account the non-renewable and multi-component composition of oil and gas resources, it is necessary to focus on its rational use, aimed at the complete, economically justified extraction of all valuable components contained in it, as well as the use of recyclable materials and production waste, i.e. resource saving. All these aspects directly affect the minimization of environmental risks. The article substantiates the feasibility of the integrated use of hydrocarbon resources in the pro-cess of further development of the domestic oil and gas complex in order to increase its competitive-ness. The authors propose ways to develop petrochemical production that can produce a wide range of commercial products with high added value. The article substantiates the position that with the devel-opment of the petrochemical industry, the oil and gas complex of the republic will acquire the neces-sary stability and will be able to become not only a leading, but also a knowledge-intensive sector of the domestic economy.
