PJSC Ukrgazvydobuvannya, part of the Naftogaz Group, has received pipeline materials to restore pipelines damaged by combat from Tetra Tech ES, Inc., the contractor for the Energy Security Project (ESP). The purchase was funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), according to Naftogaz's press service.
"Ukrgazvydobuvannya has received over 1,700 pipeline components. We are grateful to our international partners for this timely support, which is crucial amid ongoing attacks on energy infrastructure. It is essential for us to maintain production stability until the end of the heating season," noted Naftogaz Group CEO Oleksiy Chernyshov.
In turn, acting CEO of Ukrgazvydobuvannya Serhiy Lahno added that since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, USAID has provided the company with 102 diesel generators and 6,000 tons of methanol, a critical raw material for gas extraction, preparation, and transportation.
Additionally, USAID has provided extra protection measures for the Group's gas extraction facilities against Russian attacks.
