The uncovered oil field in the Zlobin district of Homiel region could yield between 350 and 800 thousand tons of oil.
80 000 tons of crude will be shipped to the sea ports of Odessa, Ukraine or Ventspils, Latvia before reaching Belarus by railway.
The oil field named Vuhalskaje was discovered in Palessie in late December 2016.
Беларусь хоча павысіць кошт транзіту на 20,5%, аднак гэтая лічба падчас перамоваў можа змяніцца.
