Investors, participating in the competition for the conclusion of production sharing agreements, are afraid of incurring losses due to the non-return of the deposit for hydrocarbon production, choosing the initial cost of a special permit for the use of subsoil as a reference point.
Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine No. 1374 of October 15, 2004 approved the Methodology for determining the initial sale price at an auction (electronic auction) of a special permit for the use of subsoil.
Thus, the calculation of the initial price of a permit for a deposit or subsoil plot where there are no mineral reserves (resources) approved (tested) in accordance with the established procedure by the State Commission or not accounted for in the state balance of minerals is carried out according to the established values of the fee for the year of use of the area of the subsoil plot of certain categories.
The area of subsoil areas where available/absent mineral reserves (resources) are approved (tested) in accordance with the established procedure by the State Commission or recorded in the state balance of mineral reserves is determined using a geographic information system.
The object of calculating the initial sale price of the permit is:
1) for permits related to the extraction of minerals:
а) the volume of reserves (resources) of minerals of the deposit or subsoil area, which are approved by the State Commission or recorded in the state balance of mineral reserves;
b) the volume of reserves of a new amount of mineral specified in the special permit for the use of subsoil, after conducting a state examination of the relevant geological materials and assessing the reserves of such mineral by the State Commission, including an increase in the reserves of such mineral simultaneously with the expansion of the boundaries of the subsoil area to a depth, which is confirmed by the data of the State Commission's protocol;
c) the volume of reserves of other minerals not specified in the special permit for subsoil use, after conducting a state examination of the relevant geological materials and assessing the reserves of such newly discovered minerals by the State Commission;
d) the volume of reserves in the event of a change in the type of mineral and (or) the direction of use of the mineral specified in the special permit for the use of subsoil, as a result of a repeated state examination and assessment of reserves of previously explored mineral deposits by the State Commission - if such changes led to a change in the type of commodity products of the mining enterprise - mineral (mineral raw material), which was taken to calculate the initial selling price of the permit at the time of its issuance;
e) the volume of groundwater sampling after conducting a state examination of the relevant geological materials and assessing reserves by the State Commission in the event of an increase in such volume;
f) the area of the subsoil plot, if such a plot does not have mineral reserves approved (tested) by the State Commission or recorded in the state balance of mineral reserves;
2) for permits not related to the extraction of minerals:
a) active volume (area) - for underground storage of natural gas and gaseous products, storage of oil and other liquid petroleum products, discharge of wastewater, disposal of harmful substances and waste, aging of wine materials, production and storage of wine products, cultivation of mushrooms, vegetables, flowers and other plants, storage of food products, as well as industrial and other goods, substances and materials;
b) facility (permit) - for the disposal of harmful substances, the operation of underground structures related to the prevention of flooding of inactive mines and the creation of geological territories and facilities of important scientific, cultural, sanitary and health-improving significance (scientific landfills, geological reserves, nature reserves, natural monuments, medical and health-improving institutions, etc.);
c) depth - for facilities used to obtain geothermal energy (thermal energy from the subsoil);
d) the amount of increase in the active volume (area), depth and/or number of objects (permits), provided that they go beyond the boundaries of the subsoil area provided for use;
e) the amount of increase in the active volume (area), depth and/or number of objects (permits), provided that they go beyond the boundaries of the subsoil area provided for use.
To determine the volume of marketable products of a mining enterprise, where mineral reserves are approved by the State Commission or recorded in the state balance of mineral reserves (except for groundwater), the data established on the date of calculation are used, in order of priority in the following order:
1) in the protocols of the State Commission on the results of the state examination and assessment of mineral reserves (resources);
2) in the state balance of mineral reserves;
3) in the acts and protocols of the expert assessment of resources of prepared and discovered objects of the State Service for Geoscience and Mineral Resources, protocols of the scientific council for forecasting, scientific and technical councils of enterprises belonging to the sphere of management of the State Service for Geoscience and Mineral Resources.
