Extract from the Survey of Energy Resources 2001
Ukraine
Proved recoverable reserves (billion cubic metres) 825
Production (net billion cubic metres, 1999) 18.1
R/P ratio (years) 45.3
Notwithstanding a long history as a gas producer, Ukraine has over 800 billion cubic metres of remaining proved reserves. Gas production has, however, stagnated primarily because of a lack of investment in the industry. Obsolete equipment and production methods have inhibited efficient depletion of Ukraine's gas fields.
The Ukrainian WEC Member Committee reports proved recoverable reserves as 825 bcm at end-1999, within a proved amount in place of 1 118 bcm. Gas associated with crude oil accounts for only about 4% of the proved reserves. Over and above the proved quantities, there are estimated to be about 368 bcm of gas in place, of which only some 10 bcm is likely to be recoverable. The levels of resources and reserves reported for the present Survey are all somewhat lower than those provided for the 1998 edition.
The republic is one of the world's largest consumers of natural gas: demand reached 137 bcm in 1990. Although consumption had fallen back to about 72 bcm by 1999, indigenous production met only 25% of local needs; the balance was imported from Russia and Turkmenistan.
Nuclear
At end-1999 there were 14 nuclear reactors (with a total net generating capacity of 12 115 MWe) in service at five sites: they had come into operation between 1980 and 1995. Nuclear plants accounted for almost 44% of Ukraine’s power output in 1999.
Four 925 MWe RBMK reactors were installed at Chernobyl between 1977 and 1983. In April 1986 the last unit to be completed, Chernobyl-4, was destroyed in the world’s worst nuclear accident. Chernobyl-2 was closed down in 1991, Chernobyl-1 in 1996 and Chernobyl-3 in December 2000.
The EBRD has granted a loan to Ukraine to finance the completion of two nuclear reactors (Khmelnitski-2 and Rovno-4 (also known as K2R4)) to replace the electricity output lost as a result of the shut-down of Chernobyl-3.
Oil
Proved recoverable reserves (crude oil and NGL’s, million tonnes) 173
Production (crude oil and NGL’s, million tonnes, 1999) 3.7
R/P ratio (years) 46.3
Ukraine's oil resources are quite significant in a regional context, with the third largest proved volume of reserves in Europe (excluding the Russian Federation).Within proved amounts in place of 138 million tonnes of crude oil and almost 80 million tonnes of NGL’s, the reported levels of recoverable reserves are 116 and 57 million tonnes, respectively. These levels (both in-situ and recoverable) are generally quite a lot lower than those advised for the 1998 Survey.
The principal oil-producing areas are the Dnepr-Donets Basin in the east, West Ukraine and the Crimea. Total oil output has followed a gently declining trend over the long term. All the crude produced is processed in domestic refineries.
Peat
There are over 10 000 km2 of peatlands, more than half of which are located in Polesie, in the north of the country, where they account for 6.4% of the surface area. The other main area for peat deposits is the valley of the Dnieper, in particular on the east side of the river. Peat production rose during the period of the communist regime, reaching 7.5 million tonnes in 1970, when 73% was used in agriculture and 27% for fuel. In recent years consumption of peat for fuel purposes has fallen to well under a million tonnes per annum, most of which is briquetted for use as a household fuel.

Uranium
Since the start of exploration for commercial resources of uranium in 1944, a total of 21 deposits have been discovered, mostly located in south-central Ukraine, between the rivers Bug and Dnepr. The most important orebodies are Vatutinskoye, Severinskoye and Michurinskoye, all in central Ukraine. Uranium has been produced since 1947, initially by the Prednieprovskiy Chemical Plant and since 1959 also by the Zheltiye Vody production centre. The first plant ceased producing uranium in 1990; the 1999 output of the other facility was 1 000 tonnes, in line with its nominal production capacity. All currently-processed ore comes from underground operations – 90% from the Ingul’skii mine on the Michurinskoye deposit and 10% from the Vatutinskii mine. Development of mining at the Severinskoye deposit is planned for post 2000.
In 1999 Ukraine was the tenth largest producer of uranium, accounting for just over 3% of the world total. Its reasonably assured resources (at up to US$ 80/kgU) are put at 42 600 tonnes. Further known conventional resources are represented by 38 400 tonnes of RAR recoverable at US$ 80-130/kgU and 50 000 tonnes of EAR-I recoverable at up to US$ 130/kgU.
Undiscovered resources comprise 3 900 tonnes of EAR-II recoverable at up to US$ 130/kgU plus 231 000 tonnes of speculative resources (with cost range unassigned).
All Ukraine’s uranium resources are quoted on an in-situ basis.
