Ukraine continues to increase gas production despite war challenges

Ukraine is steadily increasing its natural gas production volumes, showcasing resilience and a commitment to energy independence.

"The availability of a sufficient amount of domestically produced blue fuel enhances the stability of the heating season. Furthermore, boosting domestic gas production is a key factor in reducing Ukraine's dependence on global markets. Moreover, Ukraine has a real prospect of becoming the gas hub of Eastern Europe," stated Mykola Kolysnyk, Deputy Minister of Energy.

He noted that these opportunities are achieved through the modernization of equipment, the introduction of new technologies, and the strengthening of security measures at gas extraction sites. Collaborative efforts with international energy companies facilitate the adoption of new technologies, and special attention must be given to developing resource bases in new mineral areas.

The Ukrainian government systematically supports and responds to the needs of the sector by implementing new legislative initiatives to support the gas extraction industry, enhance operational efficiency, and stimulate investments.

"Since the onset of the full-scale invasion in 2022, the gas extraction industry has faced numerous challenges, including work stoppages at many fields in the eastern part of the country due to hostilities. However, the war has not only created difficult conditions for extraction but has also stimulated essential reforms and investments aimed at enhancing the country's energy security," emphasized the Deputy Minister.
