Ukraine’s national oil and gas company Naftogaz plans to increase its gas production by 1 billion cubic meters (bcm) in 2023, Naftogaz CEO Oleksiy Chernyshov said on Facebook on Feb. 4.
“Naftogaz must increase its gas production by 1 bcm already in this year,” he said.
Chernyshov added the company plans to drill 12 new wells in Ukraine’s western regions in 2023.
In addition, Naftogaz plans to accumulate sufficient gas reserves so that the country has enough stocks of fuel for the 2023/2024 heating season.
Earlier, Naftogaz stated that Ukraine would have enough gas to last the current heating season. Additional fuel imports amounted to 1.1 bcm.
