Balance reserves of refractory clays are located on the territory of five regions of Ukraine, namely in Donetsk (75.84% of the total volume of reserves in Ukraine), Dnipropetrovsk (10.15%), Cherkasy (7.73%), Zaporizhia (6.06%), Sumy (0.22%).

In connection with the imposition of martial law on the territory of Ukraine, expenditures under the budget program 2704020 "Development of the mineral and raw material base", which provided for the financing of the geological study of the subsoil, as well as the conduct of search and exploration works (including non-metallic minerals), were redirected to the reserve fund of the state budget. Given the lack of funding, geological prospecting work on refractory clay deposits was not carried out in 2022. During 2022, no fire clay extraction permit was suspended. Also, during 2022, a new deposit - Shestakivske - was discovered within the Kirovohrad region.

According to the data of DNVP "Geoinform of Ukraine", as of the end of 2020, the Zatyshan (Priazov) clay deposit in the Donetsk region was the one being explored. This deposit is a reserve of the State Fund of Deposits, which has been granted a special permit to use the subsoil for the purpose of geological study, including the research and industrial development of minerals.

In 2019 and 2018, according to the data of the Geoinform Ukrainy DNVP, no significant geological prospecting work was carried out on refractory clay deposits.

During 2022, 858.01 thousand tons of fireclays were mined on the territory of Ukraine, which is 86.61% less compared to the level of production in 2021.

In terms of the regions of Ukraine, all mining occurred in the Donetsk region, where the main reserves of fireclays are concentrated. Mining of refractory clays in the territories of Dnipropetrovsk, Cherkasy, Zaporizhzhya, Kirovohrad and Sumy regions was not carried out during the reporting period.

If the volume of refractory clay mining in Ukraine is maintained at the level of 2022, the volume of balance reserves will be enough for 525 years.

In 2020, the volume of refractory clay extraction in Ukraine decreased by 17.07% compared to 2019 and amounted to 4,547.89 thousand tons.

In 2020, the largest share of the volume of refractory clay extraction fell on the Donetsk deposits (4,510.49 thousand tons or 99.18% of the total volume of extraction) and Zaporizhzhia regions (37.40 thousand tons or 0.82%).

The largest share of the production volume of refractory clays falls on deposits of the Donetsk region (98.48% or 5,400.77 thousand tons). Mining of refractory clays was also carried out at the Pologiv deposit of Zaporizhzhya region (1.52% or 83.30 thousand tons). Provided that the volume of production of refractory clays in Ukraine remains at the level of 2019, the volume of balance reserves will be enough for 108 years.

The production volume of refractory clays in 2018 amounted to 6,811.85 thousand tons, which is 13.93% more than the same indicator in 2017. In general, a positive trend towards the growth of production of refractory clays in Ukraine can be observed. Compared to the figure of 2010, the production volume of refractory clays in 2018 more than doubled. In 2018, 13 companies produced refractory clays in the Donetsk (12 companies) and Zaporizhia (1 company) regions. Most of the refractory clays were mined from the deposits of the Donetsk region (98.49%), and the rest - from the Pologiv deposit of the Zaporizhzhya region (1.51%). Under the conditions of maintaining the volume of extraction at the level of 2018, Ukraine's provision of balance reserves of refractory clays will be 86 years.

Мінерально-сировинна база титану в Україні доволі потужна. Згідно з даними Державної служби геології та надр, Україна входить у десятку країн-лідерів за обсягами розвіданих запасів руд титану та покриває понад 6% їх світового видобутку. Сировинна база руд титану обліковує 27 родовищ, в тому числі 4 – техногенні, та більш, ніж 30 рудопроявів різного ступеня вивченості. Основним титановмісним мінералом на теренах України є ільменіт, запаси рутилу є обмежені. Наразі в Україні розробляються тільки розсипні родовища, які складають близько 10% усіх розвіданих запасів. Решта запасів руд титану міститься в корінних родовищах, для експлуатації яких потребується капітальне будівництво нових рудників та збагачувальних фабрик, що вимагає значних інвестицій та часу.

В Україні запаси руд титану зосереджені в північно-східній частині Українського кристалічного щита, Дніпровсько-Донецькій западині та частині південно-західного схилу Воронезького кристалічного масиву загальною площею більш як 200 тис. кв. кілометрів. На території України розвідка запасів руд титану проводиться у Сумській, Житомирській, Харківській областях, в той час як видобуток відбувається у Дніпропетровській та Житомирській областях. В Дніпропетровській області здійснюється видобування титанових (ільменітових) концентратів Вільногірським гірничо-металургійним комбінатом, а у Житомирській - Іршанський гірничо-збагачувальний комбінат. Сумарна продуктивна потужність підприємств сягає 700 тис. тонн концентратів на рік.

У 2019 році Сировинна база руд титану нараховувала понад 40 родовищ, серед яких одне унікальне, 13 великих та 10 середніх. Виокремлюють 4 геолого-промислові тип родовищ, в яких залягають ключові запаси руд титану в Україні: корінні магматогенні в гоброноритах і тактолітах апатит-ільменітові родовища Волинського типу; розсипи одно- і двомінерального складу Іршанського типу; морські розсипи комплексного рутил-циркон-ільменітового (полімінерального) складу Малишевського геолого-промислового типу; екзогенні (залишкові) ільменітові родовища в корі вивітрювання. В промислових цілях розроблялися в основному давні прибережно-морські розсипи в центральній частині України (Малишевське родовище) і континентальні розсипи близького знесення (Межирічне, Лівобережне, Правобережне та інші, що складають Іршанську групу родовищ).

Згідно з наказом Служби безпеки України від 12.08.2005 р. № 440, інформація щодо балансових запасів руд титану в Україні визначена державною таємницею. У зв’язку з цим офіційні дані Держгеонадра щодо обсягу запасів руд титану відсутні у вільному доступі. Авторитетним та достовірним джерелом ведення статистики про запаси мінеральної сировини у світі вважається дослідження Державної геологічної служби США - Mineral Commodity Summaries (MCS), щодо мінеральних ресурсів, яке щорічно публікується у вільному доступі.

The main iron ore reserves of Ukraine are concentrated in the Kryvyi Rih iron ore basin in the Dnipropetrovsk region and the Kerch iron ore basin in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea. Also, a significant part of iron ore reserves is located in the Kremenchutsk, Belozirsk and Mariupol iron ore districts. In Ukraine, iron ores are mainly represented by three geological and industrial types: rich magnetite-hematite-martite ores, ferruginous quartzites and oolitic brown ironstones.

In the Kryvyi Rih iron ore basin, rich ores are mined mainly underground, and ferruginous quartzites are mined mostly open and partially underground. Also, brown iron ore reserves are concentrated in this basin, which are not developed due to lack of demand for them. In the Kremenchug iron ore district, PJSC "Poltava Mining and Processing Plant" develops rich ores, easily beneficiated magnetite and cumingtonite-magnetite quartzites. Zaporizhzhia Iron Ore Combine PJSC operates in the Belozir Ore District, which extracts rich ores underground.

In the Kerch iron ore basin, there are explored reserves of lignite, the mining of which was stopped in 1992. Since then, the deposits have been under conservation. Data on the volume of changes in reserves and production of iron ore in the Kerch iron ore basin are currently unavailable due to the occupation of Crimea by Russia since 2014.

According to the data of DNVP "Geoinform of Ukraine", the balance reserves of iron ores amounted to 18,065.04 million tons as of 01.01.2021. The number of iron ore deposits in 2020 was 60. The largest amount of balance reserves of iron ores is in the Dnipropetrovsk region (8,781.52 million t or 48.61%), as well as in Poltava (5,038.69 million tons or 27.89%) and Zaporizhzhia (2,755.13 million tons or 15.25%) regions. of iron ores in Ukraine decreased by 4.10% compared to 2019. The volume of iron ore reserves decreased by 7.02% in Dnipropetrovsk region, by 3.45% in Zaporizhzhya and by 0.51% in Poltava region, while in Kirovohrad region, reserves increased by 4.78%.

If the ratio between the total level of reserves and the volume of production is maintained as in 2020, the supply of iron ore balance reserves will be 111 years.

As of 01.01.2020, respectively according to the data of DNVP "Geoinform of Ukraine", balance reserves of iron ores amounted to 18,836.46 million tons. In total, there were 60 iron ore deposits in Ukraine in 2019. The largest volume of balance reserves of Ukraine is in Dnipropetrovsk region (9444.05 million tons or 50.14%), in second place is Poltava region (5064.42 million tons or 26.89%), in third place is Zaporizhia (2853.70 million tons or 15.15%). Iron ore reserves are also located in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea (868.73 million tons or 4.61%), Kirovohrad (322.06 million tons or 1.71%) and Donetsk (283.50 million tons or 1.51%) regions.

In 2019, the total volume of iron ore balance reserves decreased by 0.22% compared to last year, in particular in Poltava Oblast - by 0.48%, Zaporizhia Oblast - by 0.36%, Kirovohrad Oblast - by 1.81%, Donetsk Oblast - by 0.18%.

The level of supply of Ukraine with balance reserves of iron ore can be defined as high. Provided that the volume of iron ore extraction is maintained at the level of 2019, the balance reserves will be enough for 120 years. iron ore, and balance reserves amounted to 18,877.24 million tons. More than half of Ukraine's balance reserves are concentrated in Dnipropetrovsk region, 26.96% - in Poltava region, 15.17% - in Zaporizhzhia. A smaller share of reserves is concentrated in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea (4.60%), Kirovohrad (1.74%) and Donetsk (1.50%) regions.

According to the data of DNVP "Geoinform of Ukraine", in 2020 a number of works were carried out on the geological and economic assessment of iron ore reserves, namely:

Some geological exploration works were mothballed during 2020. Mostly due to lack of funding. These include, for example, work on the sites "Exploration of the Gulyaipil deposit of iron quartzites", "Exploration of the Valyavka deposit of oxidized quartzites", "Exploration of the Popelnastiv deposit of oxidized ores" carried out by KP "Pivdenukrheology", as well as work on the exploratory assessment of three iron ore occurrences in the Middle Pobuzhye (Pishchanskyi, Saranskyi, Baibuzivskyi) carried out by SE "Ukrainian geological company".

During 2019, a number of significant geological exploration works of iron ore deposits were carried out in Ukraine, namely:

"Geoprof" LLC, in accordance with the technical task of "Rudomine" LLC, carried out a geological and economic assessment of the feasibility of developing iron ore reserves of the re-development of the fifth and sixth iron horizons of the "Pivdenny" quarry in the amount of 2,4137.6 thousand tons of category C2 iron ore reserves.

In 2019, a number of significant exploration works were under conservation. These are the works of SE "Ukrainian Geological Company" on the exploratory evaluation of Pishchansky, Saransky, Baibuziv iron ore manifestations of the Middle Pobuzhye. Works have been mothballed since 2011 due to limited funding. In 2019, the geological exploration works of KP "Pivdenukrheology" on the Gulyaipil, Valyavky, Popelnastiv and Chortomlyk deposits were also under conservation.

In 2018, the following significant geological exploration of iron ore deposits continued in Ukraine:

According to the data of DNVP "Geoinform of Ukraine", in 2020 the mining of iron ores was carried out in deposits where more than half (≈60%) of all explored reserves of Ukraine are concentrated. Extraction was carried out by 14 mining enterprises.

The main reserves of iron ore are concentrated in the Dnipropetrovsk region in the Kryvyi Rih iron ore basin. In 2020, the following enterprises engaged in mining there: JSC "Kryvorizk Iron Ore Combine" developed the Ternivska, Gvardiyska, Oktyabrska and Rodina mine fields; ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih PJSC developed the mine field named after Artem, Novokryvorizka and Valyavky deposits, PJSC Sukha Balka developed the fields of the Yuvileyna mines and named after Frunze. Mining and beneficiation plants were also engaged in production. Northern GZK developed the Pervomaiske and Hannivske deposits; Pivdenny was involved in the development of the Skelevatsko-Magnetite deposit; Inguletsky - deposits of Inguletsky. The Central Mining and Processing Plant in the Dnipropetrovsk Region developed the mine field named after Ordzhonikidze and the Velika Gleyuvatka deposit, and in Kirovohradska - Petrivske and Artemivske deposits.

PJSC "Poltava Mining and Processing Plant" engaged in mining in the Kremenchutsk iron ore district on the basis of Horishne-Plavninskoye and Lavrykivskoye deposits. Yeristiv Mining and Processing Plant LLC, which developed the Yeristiv deposit, was also involved in mining.

In the Bilozersky Ore District, iron ore mining was carried out by PrJSC "Zaporizhsky Iron Ore Combine" at the Southern Bilozersky and Pereverzivsky deposits

In 2020, the total volume of iron ore mining amounted to 163.30 million tons, which is 3.72% more than in 2019. In general, the volume of iron ore extraction gradually decreased from 2013 to 2018, and only during the last two years have positive dynamics been observed.

As in the previous year, the largest volumes of iron ores were mined in the territory of the Dnipropetrovsk region, namely 122.87 million tons or 75.24% of the total volume of mining in Ukraine. Mining of iron ores was carried out in Poltava region (29.53 million tons or 18.08%), Kirovohrad (6.52 million tons or 3.99%) and Zaporizhia (4.39 million tons or 2.69%) regions.

According to the data of DNVP "Geoinform of Ukraine", among the private enterprises with the largest volume of iron ore extraction in 2020 were PJSC "Southern Mining and Processing Plant" (29,879.40 million tons or 18.30% of the total volume of extraction in Ukraine), PJSC "Ingulets Mining and Processing Plant" (28 618.50 million tons or 17.52%), PJSC "Northern Mining and Processing Combine" (26,610.00 million tons or 16.29%), PJSC "ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih" (25,269.00 million tons or 15.47%). All these enterprises are located in the Dnipropetrovsk region.

The increase in the total volume of iron ore extraction in Ukraine in 2020 is mainly due to the increase in the volume of extraction at several of the largest enterprises. For example, at PJSC "Central Mining and Processing Plant" production increased by 1,029.00 million tons (by 8.72%) compared to 2019, at PJSC "Southern Mining and Processing Plant" - by 1,464.80 million tons (by 5.16%), at PJSC "ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih" - by 1 032.00 million tons (by 4.26%).

В 2020 році обсяг запасів кам’яного вугілля зменшився на 0,16% порівняно з 2019 роком. Як і в попередньому році, запаси кам’яного вугілля були сконцентровані на території шести областей: Луганської (34,74% загального обсягу балансових запасів), Донецької (32,32%), Дніпропетровської (25,41%), Харківської (4,82%), Львівської (2,54%), Волинської (0,16% )

У 2019 році основні запаси кам’яного вугілля України були зосереджені в Донецькому та Львівсько-Волинському басейнах. Станом на кінець 2019 року обсяг балансових запасів кам’яного вугілля (категорії А+В+С1) в Україні склав 41 253,23 млн.т.

Кам’яне вугілля в Україні різноманітне за класифікацією якості: найбільш поширене вугілля марки Д, або довгополум’яне, запаси якого становили 31,43% балансових запасів в 2019 році. На другому та третьому місцях були газове вугілля (марка Г) та довгополум’яно-газове (марка ДГ), на які припадало 18,71% та 15,60% загальних балансових запасів в звітному періоді відповідно.

В Донецькому басейні було зосереджено 97,35% всіх балансових запасів кам’яного вугілля, яке представлене переважно такими марками: довгополум’яне (32,29%), газове (18,12%), довгополум’яно-газове (15,40%) та антрацитами (15,16%). Загальна кількість робочих пластів вугілля збільшується із заходу на схід та від периферії до центру басейну. У 2019 році експлуатуються 65 вугільних пластів, потужність яких перевищує 0,5 м при крутому заляганні та 0,6 м при пологому заляганні. Протягом звітного періоду в Донецькому вугільному басейні розроблялось та було підготовлено до освоєння 18 858,60 млн.т. балансових запасів, з них експлуатується 8101,50 млн.т. вугілля.

Львівсько-Волинський басейн характеризується нижчим рівнем освоєння родовищ та меншим обсягом запасів вугілля – 1093,10 млн.т. або 2,65% від загальних балансових запасів в Україні. З них найбільш поширеними є високоякісне енергетичне та коксівне вугілля таких марок: газове (40,14%), довгополум'яно-газове (22,69%) та жирне (22,88%). Вугільні пласти Львівсько-Волинського басейну віднесені до тонких та, рідше, середніх, потужність яких складає 0,6-1,0 м. та 1,9-2,0 м. відповідно. Станом на 01.01.2020 р. у Львівсько-Волинському басейні розроблялось та було підготовлено до освоєння 680,00 млн.т. балансових запасів вугілля категорії А+В+С1.

На третьому місці Дніпропетровська область, де станом на 01.01.2020 року запаси кам’яного вугілля складали 25,60% від загальних запасів. Решта 7,47% від загальних запасів розподілені між Харківською, Львівською та Волинською областями.

У 2019 році вугілля марки Д (довгополум’яне) становило 31,32% сумарних балансових запасів кам’яного вугілля. На другому місці було вугілля марки Г (газове), на яке припадало 18,83% сумарних балансових запасів кам’яного вугілля. В Донецькому басейні у 2019 році нараховувалось 330 пластів і прошарків вугілля, з яких експлуатуються 65, потужністю 0,50-0,60 м. Запаси вугілля в басейні підраховані переважно до глибини 1 200-1 500 м, а в окремих районах Донецької та Луганської областей – до глибини 1 600 м. та 1 800 м. відповідно.

Згідно з розподілом кам’яного вугілля за марками у 2018 році, в Донецькому басейні найбільш поширене вугілля марки Д та Г, на які припадає 32,17% та 18,26% сумарних запасів басейну відповідно. На третьому і четвертому місці було довгополум’яно-газове вугілля (15,51%) та високоякісні антрацити (15,11%). Загалом, згідно з даними ДНВП «Геоінформ України» у звітному періоді розроблялось та було підготовлено до освоєння 19032,9 млн.т. балансових запасів вугілля.

Промислова вугленосність Львівсько-Волинського кам’яновугільного басейну пов’язана з кам’яновугільними відкладами нижнього карбону, потужність яких поступово збільшується від 600 м, на північному сході, до 1 200 м, на південному заході. Вугільні пласти Львівсько-Волинського басейну відносяться до категорії тонких (0,6 – 1,0 м.), рідше – середніх (1,9 – 2,0 м.), переважно невитриманих за потужністю та площею розповсюдження. За категоріями якості, найбільш поширеним є вугілля категорії ДГ та Г, на які припадає 22,67% та 40,17% сумарних запасів вугілля у Львівсько-Волинському басейні. Станом на 01.01.2019 р. у басейні розроблялось та було підготовлено до освоєння 680,7 млн.т. вугілля.

У розрізі адміністративних областей найбільші запаси кам’яного вугілля зосереджені на території Луганської та Донецької областей – 34,56% та 32,38% сумарних балансових запасів в Україні.

According to the data of the Geoinform of Ukraine DNVP, in 2020 a number of reconnaissance works were carried out on the territory of the Donetsk Basin. In particular, geological exploration work was carried out on Mezhivska Square, detailed geological and economic assessment work was carried out at the following facilities: mines "Dniprovska", "named after M.I. Stashkov", "Blagodatna", named after the Heroes of Space of the Dnipropetrovsk region, the mine "Red Army West No. 1" of the Donetsk region.

During 2019, according to the data of the Geoinform Ukraine National Research Institute, in the Donetsk basin geological and reconnaissance works of DRGE "Donetsk Geology" on Mezhivska Square at the expense of the State Budget. In the Lviv-Volyn basin, no geological exploration work was carried out.

No geological exploration work was carried out in the Lviv-Volyn basin.

According to the data of the Geoinform of Ukraine DNVP, in 2018 geological exploration work was not carried out at the expense of the State Budget in the Donetsk Basin. During the reporting period, the Lviv geological exploration expedition of the SE Zahidukrgeologia of the JSC Nadra Ukrainy did not carry out geological exploration work at the Lubelska No. 4 mine field in the Lviv-Volyn basin. Due to the lack of budget funding, geological exploration work in the Dnipro Basin in the Myronivska Pivdennaya section, the Krynychuvatsky deposit, and the Melekhivska section of the Sula-Uday deposit was not carried out by the Oleksandrivsk KGRP of the SE "Centrukrgeology" of the JSC "Nadra of Ukraine".

In 2020, data on the volume of hard coal mining was collected from the sources of the following state bodies: State Statistics Service, Ministry of Energy, State Geonadra (data collection and processing for the State Geonadra is carried out by its research and production institution DNVP "Geoinform of Ukraine"). Mining data collected from the above sources of information differ among themselves: the discrepancy between the values ​​of the State Statistics Service and the Ministry of Energy is 1.26%, the State Statistics Service and the State Geological Survey - 39.80%, the Ministry of Energy and the State Geoscientific Survey - 39.03%. The reason for such discrepancies may be the use of different approaches to information accounting by state bodies. For example, the State Geological Survey collects data on hard coal mining on the basis of reporting forms No. 5-gr (solid combustible, metallic and non-metallic minerals), which are annually filled out and submitted by subsoil users. According to these forms, indicators of changes in balance reserves as a result of mining and changes in balance reserves as a result of losses during mining are taken into account separately, which may be one of the reasons for the discrepancy between the data of the State Geodesy and other sources of information. The State Statistics Service collects information on the volume of hard coal mining in accordance with the form of state statistical observation No. 1P-NPP (annual) "Report on the production and sale of industrial products". Form No. 1P-NPP (annual) contains data on the amount of produced products (including related, secondary), including products intended for further processing at the same enterprise, as well as products produced for its own needs.

All the data sources listed above show a decrease in hard coal production in 2020 compared to 2019. Namely, according to the data of the Ministry of Energy, the volume of extraction decreased by 7.71%, the State Statistics Service - by 11.11%, and the State Geosynthesis - by 25.93%.

According to data from the Ministry of Energy, the total volume of hard coal mining in 2020 was 28,818.09 thousand tons, 55.52% of which was in the Dnipropetrovsk region, 39.04% - in Donetsk, the rest - in Lviv, Luhansk, and Volyn regions.

In 2020, private companies mined more than 90% of all hard coal. At the same time, the tendency to decrease the volume of hard coal mining was observed both in companies with state participation (-19.45%) and in companies of the private sector of the economy (-6.19%). A significant decrease in the volume of production in absolute terms in 2020 compared to the previous year was observed in the following companies: PJSC "DTEK Pavlogradvugilla" (by 2,206.52 thousand tons), LLC "DTEK Dobropillyavugilla" (by 1,019.52 thousand tons), SE "Shakhta named after M.S. Surgaya" (by 313.82 thousand tons). An increase in hard coal production was observed in the following companies: PJSC "Mining Administration Pokrovske"; (for 1,131.05 thousand tons), LLC "sh. 1/3 "Novogrodivska" (for 553.18 thousand tons), Krasnolymanska LLC (124.31 thousand tons), SE Myrnogradvugil (for 61.60 thousand tons) and others.

За умови збереження поточних темпів видобування на рівні 2020 року, балансових запасів кам’яного вугілля в Україні вистачить на 1 429 років

У 2019 році джерелами консолідованих даних про обсяги видобування кам’яного вугілля є декілька державних органів: Держстат, Міненерго та Держгеонадра (за збір та обробку даних для Держгеонадра відповідальна її науково-виробнича установа ДНВП «Геоінформ України»). Проте їх дані суттєво відрізняються між собою, що може бути наслідком використання різних підходів до обліку інформації про видобування корисних копалин. Дані про загальний обсяг видобування кам’яного вугілля в 2019 році, надані Держстатом та Міненерго, відрізняються на 2,09%. В той же час порівнюючи дані Держгеонадра з даними Держстату і Міненерго, різниця значно суттєвіша – 39,51% (Держгеонадра /Держстат) та 31,63% (Держгеонадра /Міненерго).

Згідно з даними Міненерго, загальний обсяг видобування кам’яного вугілля в Україні в 2019 році знизився на 6,19% порівняно з попереднім роком та становив 31 224,37 тис. т. Скорочення обсягів видобування кам’яного вугілля протягом 2018-2019 рр. відображають і дані Держстату (на 2,62%). В той час, за даними Держгеонадра загальні обсяги видобування кам’яного вугілля зросли з 20019 тис.т. в 2018 р. до 23 722 тис. т в 2019 р., або на 18,50%.

В розрізі адміністративних областей найбільші обсяги видобування кам'яного вугілля припадають на Дніпропетровську область (58,31%), проте в 2019 році вони впали на 9,02% порівняно з попереднім роком. На другому місці була Донецька область, в якій видобувалось 11 258,67 тис. т кам’яного вугілля, або 36,06% від загального обсягу видобування в звітному періоді.

Серед вугільних компаній, основна частка загальних обсягів видобування кам’яного вугілля в 2019 році припадала на приватний сектор, лідером в якому було ПрАТ «ДТЕК Павлоградвугілля». Так, компанія видобула 18 207,46 тис. т кам’яного вугілля, або 58,31% від загального обсягу видобування в Україні. На другому місці було ПАТ «Шахтоуправління Покровське» на яке припадало 16,02% (5000,71 тис.т.) від загального обсягу видобування кам’яного вугілля у звітному періоді. Компанії, що перебувають у власності держави, забезпечили 11,42% від загального обсягу видобування в 2019 році, з яких найбільше було видобуто ДП «Львіввугілля» та ДП «Шахта імені Миколи Сафоновича Сургая» - 1258,44 тис.т. та 621,40 тис.т. кам'яного вугілля відповідно.

В цілому обсяг видобування кам’яного вугілля знизились як у державному так і приватному секторі – на 13,9% та 5,9% відповідно порівняно з 2018 роком. Серед державних компаній найбільш суттєве скорочення обсяг видобування кам’яного вугілля спостерігалось у ДП «Селидіввугілля» (на 68,09%), у приватному секторі – ТДВ «Шахта «Білозерська» (на 23,88%).

При збереженні поточних темпів видобування кам’яного вугілля балансових запасів вистачить ще на 1 321 років.

У 2018 році за консолідацію даних про обсяги видобування кам’яного вугілля в Україні відповідає три державні органи, а саме Держстат, Міненерго та Держгеонадра (збір та обробку даних для Держгеонадра реалізовує її науково-виробнича установа ДНВП «Геоінформ України»). Проте інформація з цих трьох джерел відрізняється між собою, поясненням чого може бути використання різної методики обліку інформації щодо видобування корисних копалин. Різниця у даних про обсяги видобування кам’яного вугілля у 2018 році Держстату та Міненерго незначна - 2,09%. В той же час, за даними Держгеонадра обсяг видобування. кам’яного вугілля у 2018 році був менший на 39,86% від аналогічного показника за даними Міненерго, та на 41,09% - за даними Держстату.

Загалом, згідно з даними Міненерго в 2018 році в Україні було видобуто 33 286,41 тис. т кам’яного вугілля, що на 4,67% нижче ніж у попередньому році. Проте за даними Держстату та Держгеонадра, обсяги видобування кам’яного вугілля зросли у звітному періоді – на 4,79% та 4,56% відповідно. У розрізі адміністративних областей найбільша частка обсягів видобування у звітному періоді припадала на Дніпропетровську (60,12%) та Донецьку (33,38%) області.

Протягом 2018 року основну частку загального обсягу видобування кам’яного вугілля забезпечили компанії приватного сектору економіки. Так, більше половини сумарного обсягу було видобуто ПАТ «ДТЕК Павлоградвугілля» - 60,12% або 20011,78 тис.т. У державному секторі економіки лідером з видобування кам’яного вугілля було ДП «Львіввугілля», видобувши 1 413,62 тис.т. у звітному періоді.

Загалом в 2018 році спостерігалось скорочення обсягів видобування порівняно з попереднім роком компаніями як державного, так і приватного сектору економіки – на 14,46% та 3,09% відповідно. Серед компаній державного сектору найбільш різке падіння обсягів видобування спостерігалось в ДП «ВК Краснолиманська» - на 88,13%; та у ДП «Селидіввугілля» - на 51,11% порівняно з 2017 роком. Варто зазначити, що в березні 2017 року група ДТЕК заявила про втрату управління підприємствами ТОВ «ДТЕК Комсомолець Донбасу», ТОВ «ДТЕК Свердловантрацит» та ТОВ «ДТЕК Ровенькиантрацит», що розташовані на території Донецької й Луганської областей, де органи державної влади тимчасово не здійснюють свої повноваження.

As part of the preparation of the 2020 EITI Report, two sources of information were used to disclose information on the cost of hard coal mining:

The State Statistics Service regularly publishes data on the volume of realized industrial products by types of economic activity according to the KVED-2010 classification. According to the State Statistics Service, in 2020, the industry of hard and brown coal mining (type of economic activity with code B05 "Mining hard and brown coal") in the reporting period sold products worth UAH 57,142.50 million. In public sources of information, there is no disaggregated data on the value of sold products only for the coal mining industry separately.

According to the requirements of the EIA Law, within the framework of the preparation of the EIA Report for 2020, accountable mining companies provided information on their revenue from the sale of commercial products of their own mining. Of all the reporting companies, 14 companies belonged to the hard coal mining industry, and their total revenue from the sale of commodity products on the territory of Ukraine was UAH 29,587.94 million (without VAT) in 2020.

Within the Report In the EIA for 2019, information from two sources was used to disclose information on the cost of hard coal extraction:

Calculation of the Independent Administrator was based on open sources of information and was carried out in order to obtain disaggregated information on the cost of products of the hard coal mining industry. The calculation was based on weighted average indicators of coal prices and took into account rates for transportation and transshipment during 2019. There is no accurate information on the cost of hard coal in Ukraine due to the absence of completely unregulated markets for mining products. Results obtained by the Independent Administrator. The cost of hard coal mined in Ukraine in 2019, according to the calculation by an independent administrator, is 56,527.32 million hryvnias. three sources of information were used:

According to the data of the State Statistics Service, the total output of the coal and lignite mining industry in 2018 amounted to UAH 113.97 billion, which was 1.28% of the total output of goods and services in Ukraine. The output indicator reflects the value of the total volume of products, which is the result of the production activity of business entities (residents) in the reporting period.

In order to obtain disaggregated information, the Independent Administrator calculated the cost of coal mining products based on open sources of information. Due to the absence of completely unregulated mining products markets in Ukraine, there is no accurate information on the cost of hard coal. The calculation of the Independent Administrator was based on weighted average indicators of coal prices, taking into account the prices for transportation and transshipment during 2018. The cost of hard coal mined in Ukraine in 2018, according to the calculation by an independent administrator, is 87,775.28 million hryvnias. according to the State Statistics Service, UAH 113,974.00 million.

Потужність системи на вході становила 114 млн т/рік, а на виході – 56,3 млн т/рік. Загальна номінальна ємність резервуарних парків системи складала 1 083 тис. куб. м. Система нафтопроводів в Україні включає морський нафтовий термінал «Південний» та 28 нафтоперекачувальних станцій, частина з яких задіяні у безпосередньому транспортуванні нафти. Транспортування нафти в Україні здійснює виключно АТ «Укртранснафта», засновником і єдиним акціонером якого є АТ «НАК «Нафтогаз України».

Протягом 2020 року загальний обсяг транспортованої нафти в Україні збільшився на 1,94% і склав 15,8 млн. т. нафти. З них, обсяг транспортованої нафти до НПЗ збільшився на 8,33%, а транзит нафти нафтопроводами – зменшився на 0,076%. У 2020 році було присутнє зниження попиту на нафту через пандемію COVID-19, проте можливість експорту нафти з басейну Чорного моря до Білорусі допомогло забезпечити загальний об’єм транспортованої нафти на рівні навіть вище попереднього року. Крім того, у 2020 році АТ «Укртранснафта» надала послуги зі зберігання нафти обсягом 91,8 тис. т.

In 2020, the tariffs for the transportation of oil through the trunk pipelines of JSC "Ukrtransnafta" for consumers of Ukraine, established by Resolution of the NCRECP dated October 11, 2019 No. 210897 for 6 trunk pipelines, were in effect. In 2020, this resolution provided for two stages of the transitional period of tariff changes: until October 31, 2020 and from November 1, 2020.

In 2019, in the period until November 1, 2019, transportation tariffs were in effect of oil and petroleum products of JSC "Ukrtransnafta" for consumers of Ukraine, established by the Resolution of the National Committee of the National Energy and Mineral Resources Commission of Ukraine dated December 23, 2016 No. 2362 for 18 main pipelines. However, taking into account that changes were made to the Procedure for the formation of tariffs for the transportation of oil through main pipelines with the aim of introducing a mechanism for the gradual revision of tariffs, starting from November 2019 until October 31, 2020 (the first year of the transition period), different tariffs were in effect for JSC "Ukrtransnafta" and the number of transportation routes was reduced from 18 to 6.

During 2018, the same tariffs for the transportation of oil through main pipelines of JSC "Ukrtransnafta" for 18 routes, as in the previous year, were in effect, as in the previous year, approved by the resolution of the NCRECP No. 2362. The tariff calculation mechanism also remained unchanged and was carried out on the basis of the Methodology approved in the resolution of the NCRECP No.993. main pipelines with the aim of introducing a mechanism of step-by-step recalculation of tariffs for consumers of Ukraine to an economically justified level. It is assumed that such changes will avoid a significant reduction in the volume of oil transportation due to a sharp increase in transportation tariffs. It will also provide transport customers with a three-year transition period that will allow them to gradually adjust to the rate increase to the target level. During this period, tariffs for the transportation of oil through main pipelines will be calculated according to a simplified procedure using the annual tariff growth factor.

During 2020, Ukraine exported oil to Belarus in the amount of 80,000 tons worth 24.35 million dollars. USA. However, in 2019, no oil exports were observed at all.

As part of the preparation of the EIA Report for 2020, three sources of information were used to disclose information on the cost of oil and natural gas extraction in Ukraine: data from the State Statistics Service, the calculation by the Independent Administrator of the value of extracted products based on open data sources, and information on revenue from accountable mining companies provided by them in accordance with the requirements of the EIA Law. According to the State Statistics Service, in 2020 the volume of realized products of the oil and gas extraction industry (types of economic activity B06 "Extraction of crude oil and natural gas" in accordance with KVED-2010) amounted to UAH 84,126.4 million. The calculation of the cost of extracted natural gas and oil was carried out in order to obtain appropriate disaggregated information, since such information is not publicly available. This can be explained by the fact that there are no completely unregulated markets for mining products in Ukraine. The calculation of the production cost of the oil and natural gas industry by the Independent Administrator was based on the weighted average of oil and natural gas prices during the reporting year of 2020, and amounted to UAH 78,886.43 million for natural gas.

and natural gas in Ukraine as part of the EITI Report for 2019, two sources of information were used: the calculation by the Independent Administrator of the value of extracted products based on open data sources and information on the revenue of accountable extractives provided by them as part of the preparation of the EITI Report for 2019. Based on open sources, the Independent Administrator calculated the value of oil and natural gas production. The calculation was carried out in order to obtain disaggregated information, taking into account the lack of accurate information on the cost of oil and natural gas extraction (explained by the absence of completely unregulated markets for extractive products in Ukraine). The calculation of the independent administrator was based on the weighted average indicators of oil and natural gas prices during the reporting period, and the cost amounted to UAH 117,878.11 million. three sources of information were used:

The State Statistics Service data on the production of goods and services reflect the value of the total volume of products, which is the result of the production activity of economic entities (residents) in the reporting period. According to the State Statistics Service, the total output of the crude oil and natural gas industry in 2018 amounted to UAH 163.38 billion, or 1.84% of the total output of goods and services in Ukraine. The independent administrator was based on open data and conducted for the purpose of obtaining disaggregated information. Due to the absence of completely unregulated markets for extractive products in Ukraine, there is no accurate information on the cost of oil and natural gas in open data sources. The calculation of the independent administrator was based on the weighted average indicators of oil and natural gas prices in 2018.

The cost of natural gas produced in Ukraine in 2018, according to the calculation of the Independent Administrator, amounted to UAH 175,034.13 million and UAH 163,383.00 million according to the State Statistics Service.

Unlike the previous year, in 2020 Ukraine exported natural gas. The volume of natural gas export was 20.73 thousand cubic meters. m worth 3.02 thousand dollars. USA and was distributed among three countries: Slovakia (65.36% of the total volume), Bulgaria (23.70%), Austria (10.94%).

Relative to 2019, natural gas imports decreased by 22.30% and amounted to 9.14 billion cubic meters m worth 1,464.82 million dollars. USA. Natural gas was mainly imported from Slovakia (35.48%), Switzerland (19.64%), Hungary (16.70%). It should be noted that the information of the State Statistics Service reflects information on commercial flows of gas in the import mode, and not on physical receipts to the Ukrainian GTS. A significant part of natural gas was received under the regime of "customs warehouse" and was not recorded by the State Statistics Service as an import.

In 2019, 11.77 billion cubic meters were imported. m of natural gas, which is 12.37% more than the previous year. In particular, compared to 2018, the share of Switzerland in the total volume of imports has increased, it is 44.47% (5.23 billion cubic meters worth 1,017.16 million US dollars).
