Location, boundaries and designation The Caspian Sea is a wide body of water about 28 m below the general sea level. It is located on the western edge of the continent of Asia, and at its meeting point with eastern Europe through the Caucasus region, which separates it from the Black Sea by about 700 km. The average length of this sea is about 1200 km, and its average width is approximately 300 km, while its depth ranges between several meters in the north and about 1025 m in the south, and its water is salty at a ratio of 1/3 of the salinity of the water of the open seas and oceans. The Caspian Sea is a closed sea, not connected to any other sea or ocean, so there is disagreement about its description as a sea or a lake, although some consider it the largest lake in the world with an area estimated at about 371 km2, and its shores are the following countries: Russia to the northwest, Azerbaijan to the west, and Kazakhstan. From the north and east, Turkmenistan is also to the east, followed by Iran from the south, with a border of about 500 km out of the total length of its coast, which exceeds 5,000 km. This sea is fed by rainwater and the rivers that flow into it, the most important of which are the Volga and Ural rivers in the north and several other rivers in the east, west and south. It is characterized by a constant decline in water levels due to the scarcity of rivers that feed it. There were many names given to this sea with different eras and different eras and according to the party that gave it the name, but it was linked to the name of the peoples and tribes that lived around it. It was sometimes the Persian Sea, or Mazandaran, or the Sea of Beads, or the Turkmen, or the Cossacks, or other things. It is said. The Arabs in ancient times called it the Qazvin Sea in reference to some of the Persian tribes that resided on its southern and eastern shores, Caspii, from which the most famous name among them now was taken, and this sea is known internationally today by this name or “Caspian Sea.” Caspian Sea resources The Caspian Sea region is considered a region rich in energy resources: oil and gas, in addition to another energy resource, but for humans, which is “caviar” or fish eggs, as follows according to the latest estimates: • Oil: Oil was discovered in the Caspian Sea region many centuries ago. However, Azerbaijan, the riparian country, has had oil discovered since 1846, and until the beginning of the twentieth century, the Baku oil fields in Azerbaijan provided more than half of global production. Latest estimates indicate that there are more than 250 billion barrels of extractable oil from the sea basin region, in addition to about 200 billion barrels of potential reserves. • Natural gas: The reserves of the countries of the Caspian Sea region are estimated at about 232 trillion cubic feet of gas, and the sea ranks fourth after Russia, Iran and Qatar in terms of the size of its reserves of this substance, which along with crude oil constitutes a point of attraction and an appetite stimulant for many major countries and oil companies that seek to extract it. Investing in it and extending pipelines to transport it abroad, this constitutes a point of conflict and disagreement between its countries and other importing or investing countries, especially Russia, China, Turkey, Iran, Europe, and the United States of America. • Caviar: It is known as “black diamonds” or “black pearls,” due to its color and high price. Caviar, which is the eggs of sturgeon, is extracted from specific species of this fish. There are about 25 species, three of which produce caviar. These three species live in the Caspian Sea, especially near the mouths of the rivers in the north on the Volga and the Ural, and in the south on the White River ( Sefid Rud) which originates from the mountains of Iranian Kurdistan, and empties into this sea.
