In 2016, Ukraine produced 20.1 bcm of gas against 19.9 bcm in 2015 (+1%).
Ukrgazvydobuvannya (UGV)
UGV, a 100%-owned subsidiary of Naftogaz, produced 14.6 bcm of gas (73% of Ukraine’s total). The amount includes JV production and gas used for the company’s operating needs.
In 2016, UGV increased its output by 0.1 bcm (0.7%) compared to a 0.6 bcm drop (-4%) in 2015. The company managed to stabilize its production thanks to the measures implemented in line with the 20/20 Strategy, which envisages a growth in output to 20 bcm by 2020.
The regulated price for the gas produced by UGV increased up to UAH 4849/tcm on 1 May 2016. This, along with a number of organizational and technical measures, enabled the company to intensify production drilling and optimize field development. With a significant increase in new licenses received in 2015 and 2016, the company boosted exploration.
All marketable gas produced by UGV, excluding JVs and operating needs, is purchased by Naftogaz at a price of UAH 4849/tcm and further sold at UAH 4942/tcm to cover demand of households. Gas prices and supply procedures for the protected categories are regulated by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine.
