Izmail field
The field is located in the south of the Odessa region, between the lakes Katlabukh and China, and is considered practically inexhaustible – its reserves are estimated at 4 billion tons. This will be enough for Ukraine for a couple of millennia.
Professor of the Department of General Geology, Odessa National University named after I.I. Mechnikov Vladimir Kadurin, with whom we talked, is sure that now it is the Izmailskoye field that needs to be developed:
“It may well replace Artemovskoye and Slavyanskoye. If the situation in the Soledar region remains the same for a long time, then Izmailskoye must be developed. practice,” he explained.
Estuaries
In addition, the shortage of salt in a single Odessa can be covered by resuming mining at the Kuyalnitsky estuary, which was stopped in 1931.
“The method is very simple. There is a lagoon created back in the 17th century, brine is launched there – the salt water of Kuyalnik. The lagoon is blocked, and after a while the sun will evaporate the water. True, in this way salt can only be obtained in the summer,” Kadurin explained .
