The Oleska shale gas deposit is an unconventional gas area in Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk and Ternopil oblasts in Ukraine. It will begin production in 2017 and will produce natural gas and condensates. The total proven reserves of the Olesska gas field are around 53 trillion cubic feet (1.5×1012 m3)(1500 km3) and production is slated to be around 1 billion cubic feet per day (28×106 m3/d). The total exploration investment is expected to be about US$350 million. [1][2]
