Construction of large oil storage facilities in Kazakhstan is an important step to ensure efficient storage and management of oil products in the country, solving the problem of redistribution and storage of oil products, given the dynamics of production and consumption growth in the country. Construction of a large oil storage facility in Atyrau region, as well as oil depots in the west of Kazakhstan, will optimize the processes of transportation and storage of oil products, reduce the cost of renting other people's storage facilities and ensure the sustainability and reliability of oil products supplies to both domestic and foreign markets. The article considers such important aspects as the need for storage of oil products, technical and environmental aspects of construction, as well as economic and social feasibility. In addition, the article presents a system analysis and study of the potential for construction of a large oil storage facility in Kazakhstan, which makes it significant and relevant in the context of the development of the country's oil and gas industry. Given the current global challenges, such as oil production limitations and volatility of oil and oil products markets, the strategic reserve becomes even more relevant.
