Onshore oil production in the Ukraine has declined since 1974 as the fields produced by the state owned company, Ukrnafta, from maturely explored regions in the Pripyat graben, the Donetsk-Dniepr depression and the foothills of the Carpathians, deplete.

 

However, there is offshore gas and a little oil production from the North Caucasus basin in the Black Sea, in the Sea of Azov embayment in an area near Kerch, part of a region at the centre of a territorial dispute with Russia, and from a string of gas fields west of the Crimea peninsula.

 

Ukraine is also disputing rights in this area of the Black Sea with Romania. ChornomorNaftoGaz is Ukraine’s sole producer of gas and oil from offshore fields, but in the past it lacked technology for development of fields deeper than 70m of water.
