  The surface operator in an SU(2) gauge field theory is studied. We analyze
Abelian projection of the SU(2) symmetry to the U(1) group calculating the
surface parameter. The surface parameter dependence on the surface area and
volume is studied in confinement and deconfinement phases. It is shown the
spatial and temporal surface operators exhibit nontrivial area dependence in
the confinement and deconfinement phases. It is shown also that there is no
volume law for the operators defined on a cubic surface.
