KIEV, April 7 – There are large deposits of oil and gas in Ukraine, according to Hennadiy Sikalov, the director of Poltavanaftogazgeologia.

In an article in the Dzerkalo Tyzhnia newspaper, he said that deposits at depths of up to 5,500 meters have been 40% depleted, while deep deposits have not been studied. Deposits at 5,500 meters or deeper are promising, as they contain large gas deposits with the anomalous pressure of 1,000 atmospheres.
