Israel Chemicals noted in its 2015 annual report that potash reserves are close to exhaustion at its Boulby opera- tion in England, with potash produc- tion to end in 2018. It plans to counter this by increasing its output of direct- application polysulphate (polyhalite) to some 1 million mt/y by 2020. It is also facing operational challenges caused by the accumulation of salt in its main evap- oration ponds in the Dead Sea, and from the falling water level in the Dead Sea it- self. During 2015, the company bought out Allana Potash, which had been de- veloping the Danakhil potash resource in Ethiopia, where it intends to produce both potassium chloride and potassium sulphate. In Russia, EuroChem is continu- ing with the development of its Verkh- nekamskoe and Gremyachinskoe pot- ash projects that will provide more than 8 million mt/y of new capacity. By the end of 2015, the company had invested $2.8 billion in the projects, with $446 million being spent last year. Meanwhile, Uralkali produced 11.2 million mt of potash in 2015, 6% lower than in 2014 with its Solikamsk-2 oper- ations having been affected by fooding. As noted previously in E&MJ; (December 2015, pp.38-43), the company has re- vised its development strategy as a re- sult, with capex of some $4.5 billion now planned for 2015-2020 "in order to sus- tain Uralkali's industry leadership." And in Belarus, the state-owned pot- ash producer has been adopting the su- permarket approach to its sales, focus- ing on volume over price in a successful strategy to undercut its major competi- Figure 3—World sulphur production (total and recovered), 1999-2014.
