Ukraine is increasing natural gas production, which, according to the Ministry of Energy, completes the country's energy security and reduces dependence on fluctuations in global energy markets. The Deputy Minister of Energy of Ukraine contributes to the fact that, in the event of wartime, the country is not deprived of ensuring the stability of internal needs, but also lays the groundwork for the creation of natural gas, which would ensure the supply of natural gas in Eastern Europe.
"Ukraine continues to increase the volume of natural gas production," the Ministry of Energy emphasized.
The presence of a sufficient amount of self-produced blue fuel increases the possibilities for a stable passage of the heating period. In addition, increasing domestic gas production is a key factor in reducing Ukraine's dependence on world markets. Moreover, Ukraine has a real prospect of becoming the gas hub of Eastern Europe
According to him, these opportunities are achieved thanks to modernization of equipment, introduction of new technologies and strengthening of protection of gas production facilities. In particular, joint work with international energy companies makes it possible to attract new technologies, and special attention must be paid to the development of the resource base in new areas of the subsoil.
“Since the start of the full-scale invasion in 2022, the gas industry has faced numerous challenges, including the shutdown of many fields in the east of the country due to hostilities. However, the war not only created difficult conditions for mining, but also stimulated important reforms and investments aimed at increasing the energy security of the state," said the deputy minister.
