The list of geological information includes information and/or data of geophysical, geochemical, hydrogeological, technological, physical-geographical, geodetic, geoastronomical, aerospace, petrographic, and paleontological content.
In addition, the content of geological information includes indicators that characterize the geological structure of the subsoil, mineral deposits, the composition of raw materials and the properties of rocks, ores, minerals, hydrocarbons, and groundwater.
Geological information is an object of civil law relations and can be used as a contribution to the authorized capital of legal entities.
Geological information created (acquired) with funds from the state budget is state property.
The State Service for Geology and Nadra is the administrator of geological information that is state property.
Primary geological information, which is state property, is subject to mandatory transfer to the State Repository of Geological Information and Stone Material (after its creation).
Geological information created (acquired) at the own expense of legal entities and individuals is their property.
The owner of geological information shall notify the State Service for Geology and Subsoil of its creation, acquisition, transfer of ownership of geological information or the right to use it by him.
The owner of geological information may transfer primary geological information belonging to him, including geological information that cannot be digitized due to its physical properties (samples, etc.), for storage to the State Repository of Geological Information and Stone Material.
The agreement on the terms of subsoil use when obtaining a special permit for subsoil use specifies the obligation of the subsoil user to notify the State Geological and Subsoil Service of Ukraine about the creation, acquisition of geological information, transfer of ownership of geological information or the right to use it.
The results of work and research on the geological study of the subsoil are transferred by the performers for state (permanent) storage to the state scientific and production enterprise "State Information Geological Fund of Ukraine".
Secondary (processed) geological information, which is the result of work and research on the geological study of subsoil, is transferred by performers for state (permanent) storage in electronic form on a digital medium.
At its own expense, the applicant has the right to make an electronic copy of such geological information for its own processing or interpretation. The digital image created as a result of making such a copy is the property of the state, and the right to use (non-exclusively) the copy belongs to the applicant.

Acceptance for state (permanent) storage in the State Geological Fund of secondary (processed) geological information that arose during the conduct of work and research on the geological study of the subsoil is carried out after the performers have entered the primary geological information used during the creation of materials submitted for state (permanent) storage into the catalog.
Disclosure of the content of geological information created (acquired) at the own expense of legal entities and individuals and information about which is recorded in the catalog is carried out exclusively with written consent and on the terms determined by the owner of such information.

The use of secondary (processed) geological information that is state property is free of charge. Such geological information must be posted in open online access on the web portal of the State Geological Fund and/or provided in the form of copies (in electronic form).
The fee for secondary (processed) geological information, which is state property, is charged to subsoil users only in the event of obtaining a special permit for subsoil use as compensation for state expenses for geological exploration work carried out.
