A significant part of the economic base of the Astrakhan region is strongly dependent on external factors, mainly on the oil and gas markets, which are subject to cyclical fluctuations with a period of several years (up to ten years). The positive dynamics of the volume of industrial production was influenced by the production growth by the type of economic activity "mining", specifically, the output of million tons of oil produced by the Oil company "Lukoil" from the Caspian shelf. The Russian government is counting on the Astrakhan region as a "locomotive of the Russian economy in the Southern Federal District (SFD)". According to the forecast of long-term social and economic development of the Russian Federation for the period up to 2030, the growth of industrial production in the Southern Federal District should be 183%, and in the Astrakhan region by 2030 it should increase by 7.8 times. The comprehensive development of the oil fields in the North Caspian, according to the Lukoil program, involves construction of more than 30 offshore oil and gas field hydraulic engineering structures. The implementation of the project in the Caspian Sea will change the whole industrial structure not only in the south of Russia, but also in the Astrakhan region, facilitating the creation of new large enterprises and prospective taxpayers into the regional budget.
