Oil and gas offshore deposits
According to the State Service for Geology and Mineral Resources of Ukraine, the
most perspective parts of the shelf area are Pallas, which has estimated reserves at the level of
250-485 billion m3of natural gas, Scythian land - 35 billion m3of gas and 25-60 m tons of oil,
the structure of Nakhimov – 29 billion m3of gas, the structure of Kornilov 35 billion m3 of
gas and the structure of Ahiba 6.7 m tons of equivalent fuel. Total potential reserves of
Ukrainian shelf are 1.5bn tons of equivalent fuel (equivalent to 1.5 trillion m3 of gas), that
accounts for 30% of all energy resources in Ukraine. The only enterprise in Ukraine, which
independently performs exploration and development of oil and gas deposits in the area of the
Black and Azov Seas is the Chernomorneftegaz, subsidiary of Naftogaz of Ukraine. Many of
the world’s biggest oil and gas companies are interested in Ukrainian hydrocarbon resource
base. According to the State Service for Geology and Mineral Resources of Ukraine Chevron,
Eni and Exxon Mobil are probable candidates for development of perspective Olesky area
where significant reserves of shale gas are located. Shell, Exxon Mobil, Eni, and Chevron are
willing to develop another perspective gas field – Yuzivsky area. The tender for development
of these fields will be held in 2012.
Chernomorneftegaz signed agreement with Lukoil on joint activities for development
and extraction of hydrocarbons in Odesa, Bezymyanne and Subbotinskyy deposits on the
shelf of the Black Sea. Also there are active negotiations with Gazprom concerning
development of the Pallas area that is also 15 located on the shelf. It is expected that
agreement between Chernomorneftegaz and Gazprom will be signed in the near
future.Ukrgazdobycha and Shell signed agreement on joint activities for Shebelinka, West
Shebelinka, Pavlovsk-Svetlovsky, Melehovsky, Gersevanovsky and New Mechebilovsky
(they are all located in the Dnieper-Donetsk basin) areas. Also Ukraine signed preliminary
agreement for exploration and development of unconventional hydrocarbons in Ukraine with
