These works are performed in Arkhangelsk gas field within the scope of the production plan of Chornomornaftogaz for 2013, which foresees a 40 % increase in production in the area of Black and Azov Sea shelves – from 1,17 to 1,65 billion m3 of natural gas. With the support of Naftogaz of Ukraine, the Chornomornaftogaz PJSC is performing a large- scale production upgrade, which will give the company an opportunity to reach an output rate of 5 m3 of natural gas starting in 2013, and to triple its annual gas production and open several new hydrocarbon fields during next three years. The Nezalezhnist self-elevating floating drilling rig which is provided with modern equipment and, along with Petro Hodovanets SEFDR, is one of the most hi-tech and high-capacity SEFDR in the Black Sea region.

The project has involved training courses and transfer of knowledge. This report describes the training activities during 2010 and 2011 in Odessa and the Savran district. Swedish and Ukrainian experts from SSM, SGU, Marzeev Institute of Hygiene and Medical Ecology, and Odessa region Sanitary Epidemiological Service took part in the pro- ject. Field investigations have been performed in the Savran district with measurements in all villages. Gamma spectrometers were used to measure the uranium, thorium and potassium concentration in soils and emanometers were used to measure radon in soil gas. The results of the measurements are considered representative for Ukrainian soils. The measurements showed that sandy soils have very low concentrations of the naturally occurring radioactive elements while clayey and silty soils have normal to slightly enhanced concentrations.

A letter from the IAGOD President IAGOD was founded in 1963 (50 years ago) and is both from membership, personnel and topics in a process of continuous renewal. The election process of new Council and officers that was launched around the IGC in Brisbane 2012 has resulted in a significant renewal of IAGOD Executive Council. A new generation of research leaders now volunteers to lead the association and engage in serving the membership and contribute to international research cooperation, training of a young generation of mineral deposit researchers, and organising events to keep IAGOD a lively society that justifies its existence. The association has shown in the past year that it can combine forces and establish fruitful cooperation across the globe, especially with our sister societies SEG and SGA but also with IUGS-UNESCO’s IGCP programmes and national research organisations. A highlight to reflect this rejuvenation and partnership will be the Quadrennial IAGOD Symposium in Kunming, 2014, that comprises an ambitious program of sessions, courses/workshops and field trips.
