The Geological Survey of Estonia is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of the Environment and is primarily engaged in mineral resource and groundwater research, as well as the geological mapping of Estonia. Future research will aim to further estimate deposits of raw material for power purposes in regions of concern.

The main focus of the 2019-2024 Strategic Plan is aimed at gathering, systematizing and using sustainable knowledge about the earth's crust and to ensure environmentally sustainable economic development in Estonia. The strategy document outlines the following key objectives:

Collection of geological information, geological mapping of terrestrial and marine areas, along with analysis, management and access to the information collected.

Management of the geological resources and the exploitation of the earth's resources.

Preparation of reliable and cost-effective assessments of the impacts of the use of natural resources and of the extraction and use of natural resources.

Developing the knowledge base for exploiting and maximising the use of mineral resources.

Ensuring the proper preservation of geological material and its availability for study at the Arbavere geological survey centre.

Becoming an internationally recognised centre of excellence in the field of oil and gas.

In 2023, the Geological Survey of Estonia launched a three year research project on the economic potential and environmental impacts of valorisation of phosphorite, rare earth elements and related resources in the country. Building on previously conducted spatial analysis to identify potential prospective exploration areas, new additional funding of 6.1 million euros will be used to further the development of technologies for the extraction and valorisation of raw materials and on supply chain analysis.

Big Oil Eyes Record Profits but Keeps Spending in Check

Oil supermajors have been raking it in since the war in the Middle East began. They are now set to report another robust quarter, even as some jurisdictions where they operate plan to slap windfall taxes on them. The question now is what Big Oil will do with these profits. The answer: it probably won’t be a spending spree. They sure have the money for a spree. If the second quarter is any indication—and it is—oil and gas majors are having a really strong year. Out of all S&P 500 sectors, Energy booked annual growth of 128.2%…

U.S. Energy Red Tape Gives China an Edge

Congress needs to pass the bipartisan bill on permitting reform to accelerate energy infrastructure buildout so that the United States can compete economically and industrially with China, say former economic policy and national security officials who have served six U.S. presidents. The Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act of 2026 was introduced in the Senate at the end of September and is expected to be debated after the mid-term elections when Congress returns from the recess on November 9. The bill would reinforce statutory deadlines…

A "multidirectional squeeze on world agriculture" is taking form,…

As BP Leaves the North Sea, These Independents Are Buying In

Back in July, UK oil and gas major BP Plc. (NYSE:BP) announced that it was putting its entire UK North Sea oil and gas business up for sale as part of a broader $20-billion portfolio overhaul, marking the end of a 60-year era as a leading player in Europe's largest oil basin.
