Stay afloat. How did gas production in Ukraine declined through war

In 2022, Ukraine, despite the destruction and occupation of part of production facilities in the east of the country, managed to maintain stable production of blue fuel. Despite the fighting, the gas production situation in Ukraine has not become problematic. Thus, in 2022, Ukrgasvydobuvannya, which is a member of Naftogaz, produced 12. 5 billion cubic meters of natural gas (commodity). The company press service reports. It is noted that it is only 3% less than for the whole 2021 years.

"In 2022," Ukrgasvydobuvannya ", despite the destruction and occupation of part of production facilities in the east of the country, retained stable production of natural gas," the statement said. The company emphasizes that such a result has become possible in conditions where hundreds of production facilities and units of equipment have undergone shelling, many fields and hundreds of wells "Ukrgasvydobuvannya" were or still under occupation or near the front line.

Russia is not only attacked by Ukraine's energy objects during the war. For example, on November 17, 2022, the Russian rocket hit one of the gas -producing facilities of Ukrgasvydobuvannya. However, damage there did not have a serious effect on the pace of gas pumping. "The compressor station was injured there, but no critical damage was caused. Our gas production was caused in the frontal lane or where there was an occupation, that's more damage.
